Shuffle Tunes in Colorful Style

It's one of Apple's smaller announcements for one of its smallest products, but iPod shuffles are now available in more hues than white and gray. The $79 player can be had in pink, green, and blue, too.

I'm wondering if this will make it more exciting to kids, most of whom I know show no interested in this 1GB/240 song wonder because it doesn't have a screen. But we older and wiser ones know the shuffle is great as an exercise companion.

If you've got a Valentine who needs some motivation to exercise through these winter months, Apple is offering free engraving and gift wrap on the shuffle and other iPods.
