The Shuffle Shock

BillDay has had a Shuffle shock. Everybody is poo pooing Shuffle’s screenlessness. No screen means less power drainage, more zip and of course ability to cut prices even further. Good thinking Bill!

  • I got to hold one over the weekend at an Apple store (sales person’s… there were none to buy). It’s very slick and amazingly simple as well as small. I thought it felt very solid, even though it was made of plastic….

    People who want shuffles want apples–always been true; always will be true.

    Always will be fringe; always will be used by fringe…

    Maybe apple should sell 3 kinds of white pencils:

    a mechanical model that includes an eraser

    a wooden graphite stick that includes an eraser

    a stubby wooden graphite stick without an eraser

    Features and price rule the day for some; style over substance is king for others.
