Ding!

Exactly the market they are looking for.

I don't thing I'd like to take my =A3200+ ipod to the Gym (that's if I had
=
one
and went to the Gym that is!)

If you had said before the release of the Shuffle that an Mp3 player
withou=
t
a display would be sensible I'd have scoffed.=20

After thinking about it it's a great idea!

I spent an hour or two over xmas showing a neighbours daughter how to
transfer mp3s to her Japanese MP3 player and struggled trying to get across
the idea of local folders on her player. I failed and she really wasn't
interested. She just wanted the files on her MP3 player and didn't really
care about navigating her way through them.

I think they'll sell bucket loads of them (especially if there giving 2 for
the price of 1* :-))

* before anyone asks they're not - see Peters earlier comments!
