The price of the 1GB iPod Shuffle has been reduced by a significant amount of $30 to $49 (SG$79).

Apart from the price drop, Apple announced that a new 2GB model will be available soon.

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, Apple has added a pink iPod Nano to its line-up. If you are having a hard time thinking of a gift for your loved ones, this is it!

I’m pretty sure a guy would prefer a less feminine colour and in my opinion, the black one is my favourite.

Enhanced Sound Quality
Make your ordinary earbuds extraordinary! The unique shape of the Comply™ Whoomp!™ Earbud Enhancer stops the escape of the bass frequency from the earbud and funnels it directly into the ear.

Enhanced Comfort and Noise Reduction
The ultra soft memory foam gently seals the entrance to the ear and blocks interfering ambient noise.

Stay in-ear Fit
Our enhancers cradle in the bowl of the ear to provide a secure fit. The perfect earphone accessory for those who listen to music while on the go!

Priced at $19.95 for a pack of two, the Whoomp! Earbud Enhancers might be a good option if you must use the stock iPod earphones.

Senuti 0.50 is an awesome update to my favourite iPod application on the Mac, other than iTunes obviously. The best part about Senuti is that it’s free!

So what’s the big deal?

* Lightning fast There’s a little file on your iPod called the iTunesDB file. What does that mean to you? Nothing. What does that mean to me? Everything. Every bit of information on every song on your iPod is stored in this little file. Every bit of information on your playlists is stored in this file, too. It’s how iTunes knows what’s on your iPod. It’s how your iPod knows what’s there, too. There isn’t a much faster way to figure out what’s on your iPod.
* Finding Songs Senuti includes all of the built in options that one would expect to find songs. You can search and sort in any combination of ways that you want. That’s not quite enough sometimes, though. Sometimes you might want to know if you’re copying the right song. Know how it goes, but don’t know if that title is quite right? Play it! That’s right, Senuti will play songs directly off of your iPod. It can even double as a jukebox player for your Shuffle or any other iPod.
* Playlists Senuti not only reads the playlists that you made on your iPod, but it allows you to transfer them back to your computer as well. A simple drag and drop action within the application will not only copy songs to your computer and and add them to iTunes, but it will make a new playlist with the same name and add all of the songs to that list.
* Seamless Integration Adding songs to your computer, you’re probably going to add them to iTunes right after that, right? What if you didn’t have to, wouldn’t that be great? Well you don’t have to. Senuti will do all of the work for you. What work you want it to do is up to you. You can have songs added to iTunes if you want. You can have all of your music organized into folders by artist and album, too. The option’s yours.
