This Friday, November 3rd, Apple will be releasing the second generation of the iPod Shuffle. Those who have pre-ordered their new iPod should be seeing them any day now. AppleInsider has more info about Gen Deux of the world's (now) smallest digital music player.

The second-generation shuffle is the only iPod from Apple to ship with a docking station at no addition cost. It comes packaged in the same style translucent packaging used for the company's aluminum iPod nano players and also includes earphones and a Quick Start guide.

 

Apple retail stores and big-box retailers such as Best Buy and Circuit City should begin taking receipt of new shuffles sometime this week but have been instructed not to display or sell the players until Friday, those people say.

Anyone order one already?

Yes, I hope I can con my parents into getting me one for this Christmas, that and a wireless Might Mouse.

 

I really hope my local wal-mart will have them in stock so I can have a look at one of them first, although i'll probably get one no matter what.

I don't think so since through the pictures @ Apple it looks like all the data is sent through the headphone jack, and since the universal dock only has a dock connector I really doubt it.

 

Besides, it comes with a dock so why is the universal one needed?
