I would not believe this if I did not see it for myself. I just happened to see this. If you go to the Apple website to the new iPod Shuffle page, near the bottom it actually says “Do not eat iPod shuffle”.

Maybe it’s just a marketing plog so that people like me will write about it.
Music capacity is based on 4 minutes per song and 128Kbps AAC encoding.
Do not eat iPod shuffle.
Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced. Battery life and number of charge cycles vary by use and settings. See www.apple.com/batteries for more information.
Some computers require either the optional iPod shuffle Dock or a USB cable extender (sold separately).
Hey Jared,
I actually read this not to long before you posted this. The disclaimer is a referrence to the picture:
“Smaller than a pack of gum and much more fun.”
I guess you could try and eat a iPod-shuffle. Full-sized iPods would be harder to ingest, I’d imagine. 🙂
