Apple announced today that they’d be producing the popular $79 USD iPod Shuffle in five colors now, including the standard brushed aluminum silver that has been available. The new colors are pink, green, blue, and orange, reflecting the color choices for the iPod Nano currently. The design hasn’t changed, and the specs under the hood aren’t any different from before; the drives are all 1GB and all cost only $79 USD, but the cases just got a whole lot more attractive.
If you’re looking for a decent iPod to give as a gift (free engraving included!) or one of the smallest but best performing digital music players on the market, an iPod Shuffle might be for you, and given the color choices, you can find one to match any wardrobe. I, for one, liked the silver, but I’m a fan of the blue and the green as well.
