Apple plans 2GB iPod shuffle, cuts price on 1GB player
February 20th, 2008 by Anne BroacheApple on Tuesday shuffled (har, har) its lineup of matchbook-size digital music players, announcing a new iPod Shuffle with double the storage space and slashing the price of its 1GB models to AU$65.
The 2GB version of the screenless flash memory-based player will cost AU$89 and be available for sale in Australia later this month, Apple said in a statement. At that price the 2GB model will be cheaper than the current cost of the 1GB version.
Both models, which sport a built-in clip, are slated to come in five colours: silver, blue, green, purple, and red--for the (Product) Red lineup, a corporate charity movement that donates a portion of sales from designated products to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria.
Apple released the second generation of the teensy gadget, which weighs half an ounce and measures half a cubic inch in volume, in November 2006. It has refreshed the Shuffle's colours on a few occasions since then.
The nightmare with Vodafone continues! I ordered an iPhone the day after they were released from the Vodafone shop - Moved my Optus account to Vodafone and waited to upgrade to the iPhone plan (as advised to me by the Vodafone shop assistant) - 3 days later was hit with a $550.00 internet usage charge on a phone I was using that doesn't have internet access - was still waiting for my iPhone to arrive. Gave up with Vodafone - too many excuses blaming Apple for everything. they even said the phone wasn't going to be locked but they are - these people are lying to everyone and then trying to lock you into a 2yr contract - Beware!! Even if you want to get out of the contract for poor service etc... Vodafone wont care - you have to pay the full contract exit fee's. If you complain they just hang up on you - Vodafone Custoemr Care = Customer Dont Give a F#@K
