New iPod shuffle...

[Imperial_Mao]

Just watched this for the new shuffle from Apple...http://www.apple.com/uk/ipodshuffle/Is it just me or does the does thought of having your mp3 player talk to you seem odd ?

Cue "Celebrity" voice-over voices. Smashy and Nicey.

No buttons at all????

(I can't stand earbuds)

Edit: Reminds me of this....

This is a big Apple FAIL.
Apple tried this "Look how small it is!" bullsh*t before. Remember the G4 cube?
Yep, it is small. It'll look so stylish on your desk. Oh, by the way we had to move crucial functionality (like a massive power source) outside the cube.

You have to wear Apple earbuds to operate it? Lame.

Wow, worst idea ever.


So now when my earbuds break after a weeks use in the gym, my ipod is useless!


Wow, stunned at how shitty this turned out. WTF apple?

Can we still get the old one?


Once again, WOW!

 

[Unherd]

To rewind, just triple click and hold. Its that easy!

Reminds me of this....

I heard that to play a whole album you've got to do a triple click orbit to flare combo.

i actually really like my current iPod shuffle, does everything I need it to, can run with it / stash it in my pocket, and only cost $60.

This new design is just terrible.

who would buy this when u could get a sansa clip for the same dough?

 

[Brian]

Best believe people will buy this shit if it talks to them.

Garbage.

The digitized voice is absolutely awful. And you HAVE to use apple earbuds?!?!?....pffft!

That said, those fuckers make a great phone.
