Skip the new iPod shuffle it's just too small

Posted by utzy

So the third gen iPod shuffle is here it's so sleek it only has one button on it, in fact you could almost miss the Apple logo all together on the clip but I think it has two major downsides. The one that most people are already picking up on is that now the controls are on the earphones, you will be stuck with the Apple ones for quite a while to control the thing. But for me the real downside is this thing is so damn small. I have now twice washed my current ipod shuffle (it still works !) and am constantly trying to find it in pockets or buried in other tech wires and stuff. Maybe it's just me or perhaps one should always clip it to the outside of jackets. But hold on, I think I have the solution now that is has voiceover technology built in perhaps Apple could upgrade the firmware so in automatically answers here I am when you scream - Has anyone seen my bloody iPod ?
