Pretty cool, especially for the $79 price.

So what about people who can’t wear those headphones? How are they supposed to change songs etc?

[Petronski]

What about the new iPod Pico? At about the size of a grain of rice, it’s too small to have a headphone jack, so it beams the music directly into your brain.

I couldn’t find in the article what the storage space was. “Up to 1,000 songs” means nothing to me.

“Imagine your music player talking to you, telling you your song titles, artists and playlist names,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of iPod and iPhone Product Marketing, in the press release. “The amazingly small new iPod shuffle takes a revolutionary approach to how you listen to your music by talking to you, also making it the first iPod shuffle with playlists.”

Maybe it’s just me, but I would rather see what song I’m picking and not wait for some robotic communicator to tell it to me. 1,000 songs are a lot to go through to find the one you want.

Plus, I would never pay $79 for that little thing, when you can get a decent MP3 player with a screen for $40. (Just bought one for my husband).

I have a hand-me-down 30GB iPod. I waited for my brother to get bored with his and go buy the Touch before I purchased anything from Apple. I don’t even use iTunes. they aren’t getting any of my money.

World’s smallest music player now talks to you.

Finally! I haven't had any direction in my life since the neighbor's dog died.

Okay, Mr. Fierro, I'll admit it — I'm addicted to iPods and iPhones! :-)

[RayChuang88]

Ah, er--no thanks!

I much rather prefer this player:

SanDisk SANSA Clip

Not only does the SANSA Clip have a display and reasonable navigation controls, but the sound quality is excellent and you can use just about any stereo headphone with the 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack. I have the 4 GB version of the Clip and it sounds really good through the Sony MDR-EX85LP in-ear headphones I use.
