Where art thou, iPod Shuffle?
For those of you who have been patiently awaiting the new iPod Shuffle's October coming-out party, you'll have to be a little more patient. In the middle of October, we noted with mild interest that the "world's smallest MP3 player" still hadn't appeared on store shelves. We had suggested that Apple was either waiting for October 31 to reignite its preholiday iPod fervor or that the device was delayed in some Chinese assembly line. Well, our daily call to the San Francisco Apple Store revealed this morning that the Shuffle will be missing its October boat. Said an Apple employee, "We don't expect it for a couple more weeks."

When it has to fight with everyone else, even Apple may have to wait until it can get the production it needs!
was announced. Some Apple Stores do actually have a few in stock. New orders
have a 2-3 week delay, due to the incredible demand for the product.
That's where the new Shuffle is.
- They're shipping already.
