The new iPod shuffle ... ?!
« on: March 12, 2009, 06:41:33 PM »
Very recently Apple introduced the new iPod shuffle. Take a peek here.

I personally don't like it because of its size. Where's the pause button? What's up with the bare area on the front and all sorts of things on the back? If there's that much space, shouldn't they put an Apple logo on the front?! Maybe I'm just used to the thumbpad-sized version of the shuffle. Any other thoughts?

Agreed. And the whole headphone-debacle is ridiculous. The player itself should have dedicated controls on it.

I bought a iPod Shuffle at the pawnbrokers and I hated it. I took it back a day later.

It kinda sound weird and a little scary that it can actually talk to you. (my opinion, though). I'd stick with my sister's ipod instead.  :noexpression:

I was given a 512MB Generation 1 iPod shuffle for Christmas a few years ago.... I used it every day until I bought a 6G iPod Classic Silver 80GB (which are now discontinued <_<). I like my ipod better than the shuffle.

LOL, I got mine for free. I ain't stupid enough to turn down an ipod for free.  :P

But I also have a non-Apple player which I'm also quite satisfied with.  :yes:

Thats really nothing new. The software uses windows and mac text to speech to record a whole bunch of tiny recordings. The device cant really speak by itself. This also has been a feature already available for iPods.

Ah, yes, MacInTalk seems to come to mind. Another thing that Apple excelled in.
