Amid the flurry of iTunes and iPod announcements yesterday, Apple quietly retired the 1GB iPod shuffle. You remember it: That one that actually had buttons on it.

Instead, the company is putting full focus on the teeny, tiny buttonless model, which is now available in both 2GB (S$88 (US$63.36)) and 4GB (S$118 (US$84.97)) capacities. The third-generation shuffle is also newly available with blue, green, or pink paint jobs along with the traditional black and silver. In addition, Apple is offering a special edition version that is encased in super shiny stainless steel, available in 4GB only for S$148 (US$106.57). Besides the pricing, new color options, and 2GB capacity option, the third-generation iPod shuffle remains the same.
