Concerning the new design, its half the size of the previous version, looks weird and ugly(long rectangle shape). I greatly preferred the previous design over this one. The controls are no more found on the device but in a small remote found on the standard earphone cord. The sound quality from the standard earphones is very poor, mushy sound at times and the earbuds, aiee aiee … hurt the ears after long use. Users will be forced to use the standard earphone as all the controls are attached to the earphone cord. I think it’s going to put a lot of people off.
Conclusion
The prior generation iPod Shuffle looks far much better than this one. Hurray, my old iPod Shuffle(2nd generation) still rocks, I used the Sony Ericsson earphones with it, the earbuds offer deep bass and the sound quality is incredible. Note that the old version of iPod Shuffle will still be available according to Apple… go for the old one. Happy Independence Day !!
I have one too, the 2nd generation.
Nice thing, except it has no display, but thats it’s specialty 😛
