Did Apple Steal the iPod Shuffle Idea From Saturday Night Live?

 

SNL sooooo called it.

Seriously, a whopping four years ago, Fred Armisen was on Weekend Update as Steve Jobs talking about the iPod pequeno.  Take a look:

Jobs should prob call Tina Fey up stat, and see if she'll consult for him on a part time basis.  It's not that we don't think Steve is doing a crackerjack job on his own.  He may or may not have worked out the techno kinks of that Shuffle idea all on his own.  But Saturday Night Live was all over the small as the new necessity trend.  Remember this:

We think SJ should turn to more SNL oldies but goodies as he continues to bang out new iPod models every five seconds.  He should pay especially close attention the later Jeffrey's sketches when Will Ferrell declares "big is the new small."  

Steve, are you listening?  Will the next iPod be bigger than your head?  Will you need a purse to carry it like the bag phones of olde?  We hope so.
