The new iPod shuffles announced by Apple will be available in India in 4-6 weeks. They are going to retail for around Rs. 4,900. The older 2 GB shuffle sells today for around Rs. 3,200 so one way to look at it is (known as ‘the glass is half full’ approach) that you are getting double the storage for Rs. 1,700 more. The other way is to look at the US price of $ 79, do some maths (79 x 51.8 = 4,098) and wonder (also conventionally known as ‘the glass is half empty’ approach) why we are paying a Rs. 800 premium!?
