Ha. Caught this on the news, been waiting for it all week. The announcement of the new iPod. Deemed the iPod Shuffle, it’s offered in two different models, 512MB and 1GB, weighing in at 0.78oz. (~22 grams, if you must know), and costing as low as $99. Works just like a flash drive in pretty much all ways, and looks like one. Actually, now that I think about it, it looks like the rest of those flash drives turned mp3 players I see at Circuit City and Best Buy.

Also expected and anticipated, Apple introduced the Mac mini, their new computer, for less than $1000 (yay! affordable :D ). Starting at $499, it lacks a monitor, but you know it’s quality since it comes from Apple. Nice to see Steve Jobs doing his job. Now if only they stopped packaging charger cords in separate boxes and then sending them all, in separate boxes, in one big box…
