To back up my point about the new iPod in the Flash market

From MacWorld

Virtually all of the manufacturers MacCentral spoke with pointed out that the iPod Shuffle lacks the feature sets found in their products.

"There isn't a comparable flash player in our line. The closest thing is the original MuVo we released four years ago. The iPod shuffle does not have an LCD screen, which is something consumers definitely want. If you consider the capacity of the iPod Shuffle to a Creative flash player, we hold about double the amount of files in the 512MB or 1GB player," said Creative's Vacante, referring to the smaller Windows Media format that Creative and other players support but Apple does not.

Yea, $99 + accessories that come with other flash players.
