I just got the new Ipod shuffle and I hate it. I'm hoping it's not too late to take it back. So annoyed that I can't use my own headphones anymore and the touch pad is really annoying to use. Definitely wouldn't recommend buying it. I think I've had it with Apple. Yup. I just got the new Ipod shuffle and I hate it. I'm hoping it's not too late to take it back.

It tore and all the innards came out. Mass produced rubbish. I didn't sell it because it gave me more satisfaction to know that there is one less ipod on the planet. I even broke the gay headphones which are a piece of bespoke shite as well, leaving me in peace to listen to my non apple lossless collection in Winamp with my decent quality headphones. Fuck Apple!

I would abloutely hate to have that as the only means for the shuffle. Same goes with the multi click combo to find songs, what a pain. I even have problems with touch screens as I like to just feel the button/wheel on the nano and can navigate that way without looking just like you do with the older shuffle. I like a screen but my biggest problem with the older shuffle is that the Nike add on didn't work with it - otherwise it would have been a perfect jogging player. What you say is exactly my feelings on apple, even docks have to have that chip or they won't function correctly now. Apple locks everyone in so much but the fans don't seem to care. At least I know there is not just me that thinks like me. Cheers. Actually, regarding my 4th gen nano, I have turned all the new features off so now its just like my 1st gen nano (I still prefer the 1st gen nano as it feels nicer in the hand.)
