iPod shuffle is Time’s Gadget of the Week

Time.com
has named the iPod shuffle their 'Gadget of the Week,' with all the duties and benefits that the position grants upon its winner.

Who didn't see this coming? While some may have their doubts
about the Mac mini there is no doubt that Apple will sell about a jazillion of these things in no time flat and that is despite the fact that, as Time points out, the iPod shuffle isn't all that ground breaking.

There are hundreds of flash based MP3 players on the market, but none of them are getting the coverage that the iPod shuffle is. Is it because of Apple's dominance of the electronic music scene? Is it because all anyone really wants is a little white thingy that doesn't break the bank?

The one thing I know for sure is that I want one, and I already have an iPod that I love. I'm curious to see how many current iPod owners are thinking of getting an iPod shuffle in addition to their hard drive based iPods. If you are,
leave a comment and tell us why.
