Default It's A Small World - iPod Version

I've been using iTunes for about a year. Last week I decided to buy an iPod so that I could take some of that music with me. The iPod Touch looks pretty cool, but I decided to start with the Shuffle.

So, Saturday night I go to the Apple online store and order a Shuffle. They had it in apple red, available only from the online store. Cool. They were also offering free engraving. Also cool. Finally, it came with free shipping. Cool cool cool. Sunday afternoon I get a message that my Shuffle has shipped. Wow, I thought, that was pretty quick considering it was being engraved. Today I checked the shipping status on Fedex.com. Scheduled to arrive on Wednesday. Guess where it shipped from - Suzhou CHINA! That's right - engraved, packaged, shipped, and to my door in 3 business days from China. Its a small world after all.

I have a Nano, you'll love it. Next you need a way to play it in the car. They're great for listening to audiobooks.

Heck I could have drove over and got it for you..

yep.. apple doesn't make those little toys. They were using Foxconn, but I don't think Foxconn has anything in Suzhou.. I think that is FIC.

was the spelling right?

Gus - that's a cut and past from the FedEx web page, so I can't be sure if its right or not. Please feel free to pick me up any other consumer electronics that you might run across.

Last night my Shuffle had a layover in Anchorage. This morning I expected to see it in Seattle. Nope, the plane went on by and landed in Indianapolis. I hope it can find its way back to Portland.
