Of course, the most crucial queston is, how do you write the plural of 'iPod shuffle'?

It took us a few days of harrassing Apple’s PR department, but we were finally able to answer one of the most burning questions of the past seven days: Is it “iPod shuffles” or “iPods shuffle”? Here’s a transcript of our conversation:
US: Thanks for calling us back. We have a really important question for you. How do you pluralize “iPod shuffle”?
APPLE: Like in a sentence?
US: Yeah, like would you say “iPod shuffles” or “iPods shuffle”?
APPLE: Huh. “iPod shuffles”. It’s “iPod shuffles”.
US: Are you sure? Would you mind double-checking, because people do say “attorneys general” and not “attorney generals”. We don’t want to offend William Safire and write the wrong thing.
APPLE: Let me ask someone here. [puts us on hold for a minute] Yeah, it’s “iPod shuffles”.
US: Thanks!
