Apple released an updated version of the iPod Shuffle. It's now 4GB and talks to you.

That sucks that you have to use their headphones. And even if I loved their headphones my usage of the shuffle makes it far more convenient to use the dial.
Exactly. What a fuckin' fail product.

Steve's gone for a few weeks and the designer's run amuck. I will never buy something I can't use my own headphones for. At least they kept the old shuffle around.
Apparently even Mac fanatics hate it:
from MacRumors.com...
The headphone thing will kill it, like FIRE!!! But there are headphones on the market now designed for the iPhone/iPod touch that have the bud inline to control things, so you're NOT totally locked into just those shitty white earbuds, there ARE other options, but not "headphones" so far with such a control bud inline, just IEMs like the etymotic hf2 or the newer hf5 and some other brands as well.
Yes, it's shitty just like the white earbuds themselves, and yes, it's a very bad idea, but it's Apple - they don't do what consumers want, they do what they want... and then the Cult follows.
I agree - I want to use my $500 SHURE E5's and not some taiwanese .04 cent earbuds.
Or maybe he just works for VerizonLOL I think you mean 4 cent. But maybe they are .04 cents there so cheap! It is weird they did this... Maybe... Wonder if there will be controller for other headphones.
I did mean 4 cents. I was going to do $4 but thought that might be too generous.LOL I think you mean 4 cent. But maybe they are .04 cents there so cheap! It is weird they did this... Maybe... Wonder if there will be controller for other headphones.
Having a remote embedded into the headphones is nothing new, it's been done for a long time. It just sucks that you can't go back a song, maybe a revision will fix that.
But yeah Voice Over is the innovation that will allow for more complex menu structures and navigation without having to use a screen.
I think they were too busy trying to find their heads up their asses that they forgot to put the buttons on the thing.What happened to Apple's design team?
At $80 I think your already past low cost.Kinda negates the whole 'low-cost' part of the ipod shuffle.
Im going to disagree and come out and say that I want one.
Im actually really excited about this thing, its one of the coolest ipods I've seen in a while.
I like the speech thing, the size is amazing, and I think the controls will be better on the headphone.
3rd party vendows already announced new dongles so you can use whatever headphones you like.... this is innovation. no one has done anyhting like this and it works
