Every highly-polished stainless steel lining has a cloud, it seems, and today's
music player overhaul by Apple has been no different. Amidst all the excitement about
moderate improvements and
video cameras, we've also had to say goodbye to an old friend. Having been kept around for six months after the release of its successor, the
second gen shuffle has finally succumbed, leaving the
newly colorful 3G option all on its lonesome in the minimalist music lover space. Ah well, if you
really have your heart set on the old rocker, refurb models are still available at Apple's online store, though probably not for long.
