New shuffles in January, too?

iPod shuffle

We're already getting a little tired of the what could Steve possibly introduce at Macworld in January story, but AppleInsider reports that an American Technology Research analyst has "heard" of an even smaller shuffle due for launch at the event that would also take the next logical progression for the flash player: colors. Of course, we're all still awaiting some larger capacity shuffles, but don't get your hopes up — that's just not going to happen as long as the nano straddles 2GB and 4GB capacities (we'll talk turkey once the nano's at 4GB and 6 or 8GB). So if nothing else it just sounds like they're going to try and move some low end hardware during the post-holiday slump and not totally revamp the device — yet.
