Overview of new shuffle: Apple – iPod shuffle – The first mp3 player that talks to you
Perhaps it is just me, but a mandatory mating of a device to use a specific set of headphones? It would seem that many people would want to periodically use another set of headphones for a variety of reasons. Is “Voice Over” innovative? Not so much – the technology has been around for a long time and I’d question the value of it telling the user the song name. Do most people not know the songs on their iPod? C’mon Steve, is this along the lines of the sub-par iPods (e.g. no bluetooth in iPods?!) that are produced? …or perhaps the inability to upgrade memory in all Apple iPod-like devices. Then again, Apple has done well in the recent-past, and perhaps behavioral economics will prove me wrong – i.e. being cool, fasionable, and simple rules the consumer market.
