I thought that review was a good look at the new shuffle.
Why they redesigned the thing is curious. I feel it was an excuse to push headphones. They should have just made them cheaper. Once under $30, they would sell tons to the kids and work out freaks. 4GB is just too large for something without a screen.
We all know that Apple doesn't like to stagnate when it comes to design. Hell, they still tweak the classic!
