Diamond iPod shuffle

Can the iPod shuffle really go lux? Well, dspiel over at the iPodlounge discussion forum sure thinks so and he even offers up photos of a prototype with diamonds "set" (read: not glued) in the plastic. Replace the lanyard with a gleamin' platinum rope and you'll sho be tore-up from the floor-up baby.

engadget has officially gone bling.

Uhh, the plastic gets soft in the sun, and would probably make the ice melt off. (no pun intended).

They should use contact cement.

Is it me, or does the "-" seem to be slightly unlevel to the left.

An expensive way to add brail to support for the vision-impaired iPod Shuffle users.

Fo shizzle!

Diamonds in just plastic?! That is lame. To really pimp this out they need to have the shuffle totally plated in either gold or platinum. Then the bling would sing!

Oh, I thought that was just braille in lieu of a real display...

A shuffle for blind people ?
Now i know why there is no screen at all :)

Why just a few diamonds?

Why not make it completely out of gold? I mean, if it was Bling Bling enough, we might see some rappers wearing them.. sorta like Flava Flav and his clock necklaces.

But what we need a name for these fancy iPods... how about the "Truffle Shuffle"... ah ah ah.. hardy har
