Recently Apple Inc. launched the next version or generation of there basic product “iPod Shuffle“.The first iPod shuffle was launched in 2005 and after 1year in 2006 they launched 2nd generation. This is the third generation of iPod which is launched in March 2009,nearly after 3year.
I do not own iPod, but still after looking at its features i can write this post easily 
.
The new iPod shuffle have amazing features like,
VoiceOver technology that allows song names, artist names, album names and playlist contents and names to be spoken in 14 different languages.
Slick design , cool looks, etc etc.
BUT, here are the few problem that i observed in new iPod shuffle.
Controls
In older iPod Shuffle the controls were built on the device itself, but here in this new version the controls are on the headsets !!
So if you pluged any third party headsets onto your new iPod shuffle then it will still a allow you to listen to songs as as you start iPod, its starts playing the songs. But this time (using third party headsets) you cant control the iPod shuffle. No next, no pause, no volume up-down… nothing ,…
Some future third-party headphones and headphone adapters will include full support for the iPod shuffle. These headphones contain a special Apple authentication chip. Without this chip, third-party headphones are not allowed to interact with the iPod. – Wikipedia
Colors options
The new iPod shuffle comes in only two colors !!
Silver and black.. while the older iPod shuffle was available in pink, Green, Blue ,Lavender, Red, Orange, Turquoise, Mint….ooo !!
Memory
This iPod shuffle comes only in one memory option which is 4GB while the older iPod was available in 1 and 2 GB options, though this is not the problem but still… 
But still the looks of new iPod shuffle is really cool, and stylish. Its slick and smart.iPod shuffle is known for its superb sound quality. The brand Apple itself is a identity of trust and the innovations. I hope, soon the Apple will try to remove all those restrictions and problems from there device.
I recommend all iPod lovers to wait before buying this new edition of iPod, soon you will see the iPod with many other colors.
If you are not aware of the new iPod features take a look at this video (or visit Apple.com/iPodShuffle/).

I think Apple is trying to eradicate the other manufacturers from the competition. This is good when viewed from the part of Apple, but as an end user, you will not like it.
Also, controls in iPod is easy to handle than controls in headphones…

Apple and restriction are friends. Don’t expect the restrictions to be removed. Think about iPhone, mac.. they are all restricted.. This one is no exception. On a different thought. Convergence is a word I use very often. When a single device can do 10 different things why bother with 10 different devices? Newer mobiles such as Nokia N95, N96, Nokia 5800 Xpress music and the upcoming N97 are very powerful multimedia device whose music and video performance surpass even the iPod and other i devices.

nice chetan …
you have shown us both sides of the coin …
how could they forget such an important thing ..
just to make the ipod look smaller they removed all the features and shifted them to the headset …..
Still good product

I really feel, control will be a big issue..Its good to leave control on device itself..

I am not a big fan of these little players though I liked their simple interfaces. One of those Nanos that I have is being used as a USB drive for three years now

I do agree with you Chetan. I am disappointed with the controls. Except that, all other features are nice.
I think, now a days having 1GB 2GB will not make much difference.

The new shuffle is not durable. I’ve changed the headset twice at the Apple Certified Center. The thing is I use it while running and when it comes into contact with ’sweat’, and you press the controls, I guess ’sweat’ must have seeped in and the player stopped functioning. I am an avid runner and I’m using this thing for normal use only as I am tiered of going down to change the everytime it becomes faulty. APPLE, what’s happening?
