iPod shuffle now $49, gets 2GB big brother for $69

Apple has dropped the price today on the 1GB iPod shuffle to a measly $49. The company has also announced a 2GB version to be available later this month for $69.

The iPod shuffle is just half a cubic inch in volume, weighs just half an ounce, features an aluminum design with a built-in clip and comes in five colors—silver, blue, green, purple and a (PRODUCT) RED special edition.

Although not the best of portable music players, at $49 the shuffle is certainly looking like a good deal.
