Aside from the fact that the 1Gig version provides excellent bang-per-buck purely as a flash drive, it will probably become an excellent marketing/merchandising tool. Finally Appl…

My wife's cousin needed to get a flash drive for school. I told her that Apple just came out with a 512 MB or 1 GB iPod that CAN BE USED AS A FLASH DRIVE for $99 and $149, respect…

Your words say no, but your eyes say yes! Give it up Think and move to the darkside!

Not only is this a marketing gem for Apple but for other companies as well. Say if you want to give one to a good customer or as a promotion or other such things. They are inexpe…

I wonder how many people will be going in looking to purchase a $99 iPod shuffle and walking out with a iPod mini or a full blown iPod?

Yes, I'm going to buy two! A 1GB plus a Photo iPod, 'cause I need that Playboy mag subscription! ;^) But if I break down and get a Mini instead, would it do the same type of synch…

Wow, I was right (for once)! Apple are already giving them away free. Check this out: http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=847

Hi I have an eMac without USB 2 port... Will iPod Shuffle work with USB 1.1 port? Thanks in advance!

I have a TiBook 667 DVI and am thinking about getting an iPod shuffle. I'm also thinking about picking up a PCMCIA (cardbus) USB2 adapter for about $25. If possible, could some…

Does anyone know if there are USB 2.0 hubs that connect to your computer via Firewire. I have USB 1.1 as well and I've just ordered a 1gig shuffle. I'm thinking it's gonna take for…

No, no such thing exists. And if someone made it, the drivers would probably be a nightmare. If you have a Power Mac, at least you can add a PCI USB 2 card for cheap. tooki

USB 1.1 is relatively snappy. I use it to put files on my flash drive all the time and it doesn't keep you waiting TOO long.

I don't know if this would be a true test of the transfer speed but here is what I came up with: I used a PNY 256MB flash drive and filled it up with MP3s by drag and drop. It too…

I'd like to know if the Shuffle can charge from an Apple Keyboard USB port.

I am contending with this exact issue. SInce USB1 is only 12Mbps transfer rate, it would take something like 11minutes, 22seconds to fill up the 1-gig iPod Shuffler via the USB co…

What happens if I have a 1GB iPod shuffle and I set half of that space for music and the other half for data, and I find out that I am going to need more than 500MB of storage for …

I would assume so. If you set the data partition to 500MB, then that's what you've got--a 500 MB USB keychain drive (with a 500MB iPod built-in). Chris
