This is getting dumb. Apple should drop this generation of shuffle entirely and revert to the old one until they have some sort of buttons attached to this current model.
Given their proficiency at copying everything else I'm going to predict China will be the first, whether by accident or design, to produce a viable human clone...
The polish and panache of these quasi-clones usually goes as far as their product spreads. Meet them in person, and it'd probably give off the similar visual impact a Matchbox car would in specially marked boxes of cereal.
@Jrsy Devil's Food Cake®: I still call bullshit on that, Scott decided not to make Deckard a replicant before the movie was released, then a decade later decided that it would have been cooler if he was and put in and started putting together the directors cut to imply it. retroooacctiivee hissstorryyyy
it's amazing how someone can sell a flash drive as a music player for $80. i have a flash drive that's twice that size i paid $15 for. so i'm basically paying $65 for the ability to play music off it portably?
@cddude: It isn't just a flash drive. If it was just a flash drive, it would do nothing more than store data. obviously, that's not the case. By that logic, my iPod touch is just a 32GB flash drive, because the other components around the medium with which it stores information is insignificant.
That flash drive that you paid $15 for probably costs a few cents to produce individually, thus the markup on that cheap flash drive is probably similarly proportioned to this product.
Dont act surprised GIZHEADS, if you where a MON(APPLE)LY you would do the same thing. I work in sales for a BOILERROOM type company making 100k a year just talkn on the phone, its all about supply and demand which in sales is the only two rules that exist and im sure at the rate they are pump'n out they are making at least a 65-75% profit so the costs that where just specified are way to high. High profits low parts cost cause your able to buy more in bult at a cheaper rate than your comptition. These guys are DDD-DIGITAL DOPE DEALERS and im a helpless TECHEAD whos fix is never satisfied unless the toy is considered the latest and greatest thats out. They have me by the cockandballs!
@shopperciti.com: Sorry, as soon as you said Boiler Room, I pictured you as either Giovanni Ribissi or Vin Diesel, and your words transformed into grunts.
Why are people offended that it costs less to make than its sold for?
How many of you "outraged" posters work at cost? You could be fed, clothed and housed for $10/day, why don't you ask for a paycut if you think taking profit is immoral or a ripoff?
@Andreas Mueller: How many outraged posters are posting at work, on someone elses dime, so they are producing less than what they are getting paid for?

are they trustworthy? (No)
Proceed to reliable vendors. No shout-outs, just drop the dime on more than you see @ Wal-Mart/Sam's Club...
