The new Ipod Shuffle? dang it's small

Today Apple announced their introduction of the brand new Ipod Shuffle. Again the shuffle comes in two formats, one that plays 1,000 songs and another that plays about 1500. It comes in black and white and is about the size of a Double A battery. One interesting feature is the volume and ipod controls on the headset rather than the ipod itself. Interesting, is this going to get market share for Apple or is this just another updated version of a product that did not necesarilly need updating. I think Apple is just doing what they think is right and that is upgrading superior products that needed an update. It's a good move, they're going to keep customers wanting more and that's the key to Apple success. They have good products that not only work well but look "cool" and are incredibly trendy with people that have money to burn.

Anyone have any thoughts?
