Apple surprises us with a new, more-talkative iPod shuffle. ⇒

These look kind of cool. One problem is that the only way to control the shuffle is to use the Apple supplied headphones. That seems like a big flaw.

  1. The new shuffle is overly complicated. The whole idea behind the shuffle was to just sync random playlists every time you connect the shuffle to your computer.

    I can’t see this doing well. This feels like something The Onion would make.

  2. Others agree: What’s Apple’s problem with buttons?

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
