01/12/05: Apples' latest failure : iPod Shuffle = piece of shit mp3 player.

Posted By: Throwing_Muses

Proof that what you pay for is what you get and if you're paying US$99 for a 512MB flash mp3 player then that's ALL you're getting. No display screen(!), no FM radio, no recording facility, no removable/replaceable battery, no USB cable, no armband, no WM support, only 12hr battery life, etc... Good Jobs, Steve.

So what can you do with it? Play mp3s - in the order recorded or <gasp> shuffled! And what else? Erm...nothing.

Once you've spent the $ to make this thing even remotely useful, you might as well have gone to iRiver or Creative in the first place. And at least they have a decent user interface - it's called a screen, Steve. You know, the pitiful little thing on your iPods that you expect people to want to look at photos on - remember?

No wonder the other flash player(s) aren't looking worried...
