Moments ago Apple released the new iPod shuffle. The new shuffle is now half the size of the original and comes in at £59 for a 4GB capacity. While there is a nice new feature in voiceover allowing you to now have more than one playlist on your shuffle.
As great as all that is there is one major flaw to the new shuffle, the removal of controls. Apple has moved the controls for operating your iPod onto the iPod's earbud cord. While that might not initially seem like a problem what happens if your earbuds stop working? Gone is the ability to pickup another set of earbuds or headphones and continue enjoying your music. If your earbuds cease to function then so does the new shuffle. You can of course still turn it off and on at the shuffle, but without earbuds to start it playing what would be the point?
