1) Apple iPod Shuffle going 2GB and 4GB this summer! Many blogs are revealing that Apple is planning to release a 2GB and 4GB version of their current 1GB shuffle. Major drawback, it will be impossible to find a song that you like while having to shuffle or click through your entire collection of songs. This product will be useless unless they decide to provide a screen.

2) Yahoo! Photo Email Upgrade. Yahoo! email will soon allow emailing photos up to 300 Hi-Res images at once. It will work by uploading photos to Yahoo’s server and then providing thumbnail links in messages to the actual full-sized images. This is currently a BETA service. MSN currently offers a very similar feature to paid MSN/Hotmail accounts.
