In what’s now becoming a weekly ritual, Apple took their online store down this morning and has returned, with an all new version of the dinkiest iPod, the Shuffle.

The new version looks just like its older sibling, but packs 2GB instead of 1. So now you can stick on 500 songs for when you’re out jogging or just posing with the nipper clipped on your jacket.

It costs £45, with the 1GB reduced to a ludicrously affordable £32. Pretty good value for a much-loved jukebox

We’re expecting more Apple announcements next Tuesday, with the iPhone SDK top of our wish list.
