Apple introduced their first-ever flash-based portable digital audio player, iPod Shuffle, at Macworld 2005 expo in San Fransisco. The new player lacks display, but works with iTunes and costs only $99 for 512MB version.
Steve Jobs said about the player that "iPod shuffle is smaller and lighter than a pack of gum and costs less than $100. With most flash-memory music players users must use tiny displays and complicated controls to find their music; with iPod shuffle you just relax and it serves up new combinations of your music every time you listen."
The device plugs straight to the USB port which also works as a charger for the device. iPod Shuffle is compatible with both, Mac and PC and comes with two varieties: the 512MB version that costs $99 and 1GB version that costs $149.
