Now Apple released version 8.1 of iTunes for Mac and Windows, adding compatibility with the newly released iPod shuffle, as well as other enhancements and bug fixes.

I guess that shouldn't come as much as a surprise in Apple's proprietary kingdom. I'm still trying to figure out why Apple is discontinuing the 2GB shuffle and not the 1 GB shuffle. Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to dump the 1 GB and make 2 GB the new entry level? I guess it didn't make sense to anybody at Apple.
