The iPod Shuffle is now only $49 and a new 2GB version for $69 is on the way. If you recently bought a Shuffle…return it.

Apple® today announced that its iPod® shuffle, the world’s most wearable music player, is now even more affordably priced at $49 and that it is introducing a new 2GB model of the iPod shuffle for $69. The popular iPod shuffle is just half a cubic inch in volume, weighs just half an ounce, features an aluminum design with a built-in clip and comes in five colors—silver, blue, green, purple and a (PRODUCT) RED special edition.

Excellent player for working out. So good in fact, I bought a second one for the wife so she'd stop stealing mine. I don't need a video screen to tell me what song is on while I'm running... so it works out great for us.
 
I never understood the shuffle. Why would you not want to be able to choose the music you listen to? Doesn't make sense to me.
 
I have a 5th gen ipod video, 30gb. Every time I go to workout I just hit shuffle, and workout to it. It's actually really nice if you're also in the car and don't want to listen to the radio, use an adaptor and you're able to listen to commercial-free good music.
 
I mainly listen to full albums. Sometimes I listen to playlists I pre-program anyway. Either way I don't need a display. I have a 4th gen 40GB iPod, a 1st gen 1GB Shuffle. I use the shuffle way more than the big iPod. That is mainly for long flights, but otherwise if I'm jogging or just out or something then I use the shuffle.
 
i always kind of entertained the thought of getting a shuffle just for workouts before, but now that theyre only $50, i might actually do it.

At $50 its damn near disposable now.. I dont know about you, but I would be livid if I lost or broke my $330 Player Jogging/Working out.. at $50 it sounds great, is light as hell, non-intruding and not a huge deal if its destroyed/lost.
 
If I actually listened to music I'd probably buy one of these. I'm kind surprised this didn't come out around christmas time as these would have made great stocking stuffers (even at 50$ each). I'd much rather give someone this then a cheapo 30$ pos.
