while most Mac malaysian fanz are focusing on the latest announcement of Maxis launching the iPhone 3G in Malaysia on 20th March 2008 at KLCC, worldwide Apple website and Apple store were down for maintenance late evening just now.

it is significantly smaller than a AA battery, holds up to 1,000 songs with its 4GB of built-in storage, and is controlled exclusively through buttons located on the earphone cord that ships with the player.
The shuffle has always been Apple’s smallest iPod, but now it is nearly half the size of the previous model at 1.8 inches tall by 0.3 inches thin.
It features a new aluminum design with a built-in stainless steel clip that makes it wearable like the previous-generation model.
