...relatively free to be themselves." When the government does return - Ghedi has said he plans to visit Mogadishu in early February - the task it faces is huge. Civil war and the lack of an effective central government have left Somalia splintered into a mosaic of clan-based fiefdoms. Two mini-states in the north have broken away, though no country recognizes their independence. In the Mogadishu suburbs that sprawl around the devastated old quarter, donkey carts and machine gun-fitted pickups compete for passage on sand-swept streets.

Plug in the peripherals, and you will rarely notice the difference. The $99 iPod Shuffle, however, could never be mistaken for its larger cousin. There's no screen on which to view the song currently playing, and it holds only 126 tracks. (A $150 model doubles that capacity.) It's called the Shuffle because that's the best thing you can do with...
