Massahysterie om iPod shuffle

Vlak na Steve Jobs’ MacWorld speech werd de Apple Store in San Fransisco compleet platgelopen met uitzinnige Apple fans.
“Employee Michael Lyen was handing out iPod shuffles as fast as he could pull them out of boxes. Many people were taking two and three at a time. It had the feel of someone handing out freebies on the street. Such is the lure of being one of the first to shell out $100 for a music player that is shorter than a pen.”
Dat snap ik dus echt niet hoor. Wat is er nou zo bijzonder aan dit apparaatje?
