New iPod Shuffle

Available in two colours only - grey & black. Much smaller and with newly designed controls moved to the earphones. Also with a new feature - 'Voice over'.

Apple - iPod shuffle - The first mp3 player that talks to you

Ok, I see a major design flaw in this new Shuffle...

Your restricted to using the stock Apple headphones for it! I think we all know from experience that stock Apple headphones are: 1. Crap, 2. Uncomfortable

So unless they come up with a remote control for it or something, those expensive headphones you bought for your other devices, are useless in conjunction with the shuffle... Unless perhaps you don't mind sitting through every single song at the same volume level - forever!

Edit: And VoiceOver...? Please... What a gimmick, lol. I can safely say I would find making Microsoft Sam make dirty remarks more useful than this "incredible new feature".

Edit 2: And why does the VoiceOver voice change depending on whether you sync it to a Mac or a PC?

like i said in the other thread i prefer the old one, and i thought exactly the same that you gotta use apples headphones so if you break em then u gotta shell out for ipod shuffle specific ones which im guessin will cost more than standard.

It's all money i suppose, thanks for telling us.

How many refs will this be on networks? Wonder if giveaway will change their ipodshuffle site?
