As you may or may not know, Apple recently updated it’s Shuffle lineup.
Weighing less then half an ounce, the iPod Shuffle is a true on-the-go player. The included earphones feature a built in volume controller, a nice addition to the usually dull earphones that ship with ipods.
Doubling as a flash drive, the iPod Shuffle still struggles to make the $79 price tag look appealing. Such a basic player really shouldn’t be demanding such a high price. A $59 price tag is a tad bit easier to swallow, especially considering a 4GB off brand MP3 player goes for about $39.
The one saving grace of this iPod shuffle is the fact that Apple has finally found a way to make a screen-less mp3 more useable. The VoiceOver feature allows the iPod Shuffle to announce song names, Albums, and playlists. This finally makes navigating your songs and playlists possible. Whether this makes the Shuffle worth the $79 is up to, but I must say, this one is full of improvements.

Details are still sketchy, however, it looks as though OS 10.6 will have dramatically improved spelling features.
OS X will now be able to automatically correct spelling mistakes. This feature is fully customizable and can also be turned on and off at your discretion. Another exciting feature to grace OS X 10.6 is the inclusion of language abbreviation. For example, typing MOSX could be automatically translated to Macintosh OS X.
While neither one of these are exactly ground breaking, they will be much appreciated by many.

Mac Pro:
All in all some very descent updates. Nice to see the Mac Mini finally getting some love. I’m sure the slowing economy renewed Apple’s interest in it’s lower end model.
While the Mac Pro is still just a dream to me, It’s nice to know they are staying on the ball.
