How Apple thinks
Here's how Apple thinks:
1. They don't want you to buy a Shuffle in the first place. They'd much rather you pony up for the iPod Touch or if you really can't go there, then maybe the nano.
2. If you just aren't cool enough to have a ton of money for a music player, then, well... fine, get a Shuffle. But look cool while you're doing it. That requires an Apple hedset anyway, since that's part of the chic they want you to promote.
3. If you are so utterly uncool as to not be able to pony up even $80 for a music player or to not want to wear the fashion-ear-buds, then, well, fine... go ahead and buy the old Shuffle and get whatever headphones you want. At least you're still giving Apple some money and probably paying more for iTunes music, so you're OKish.
