This week, Apple gave us a little surprise when they introduced a 1GB version of their iPod Nano. Same old features, probably same old scratch-ability as well. But still, it’s going to be hot as it’s currently selling for $149.99 at Amazon, perfect for the more budget-conscious consumers.

On the flip side of this piece of good news is the nail on iPod Shuffle’s coffin. With a cheaper Nano and a price slash for the Shuffle to $69.99 and $99.99 for the 512MB and 1GB models respectively, it’s obvious that the Shuffle might just be phasing out soon.
