iPod shuffle: now with dock

Our pals at Engadget brings us the
news that the promised iPod shuffle dock is now available.
We're going to have to go with them on this one – it's overkill to spend $29 on a dock for a $99/$149 MP3 player.

Of course, some people enjoy docks and other such ornamentation on their desktops – not me. Even with 5 desks in my home office, desktop space is still precious – I want a way to get *away* from cable snake pit/dock display shelf madness, not contribute to it.

If you're one of the former folks, go to town. But it you want to save some cash, and your USB port is recessed too far to plug in your shuffle, you can get a USB extension cable for a few bucks that will do the trick.
