Pros & Cons of Latest 3rd Generation IPod shuffle
Pros & Cons of Latest 3rd Generation IPod shuffle
Read More Pros * Supports multiple playlists * Can navigate thanks to Voiceover controls * Supports Apple Lossless files * Higher-capacity * Good sound and volume.
Cons * No controls on iPod * Navigation more difficult than in the past * Battery charge poorer than in the past * Tiny switch on top of iPod difficult to manage with adult fingers * Must pay for adapter or compatible headphones if unhappy  with included headphones. * Lack of controls on the iPod—is more difficult to use * Controversial control makes the ipod shuffle more clumsy.  Pressing to traipse through multiple items in a playlist is clumsy. Not only is it likely some users will forget which combination of presses transports them from place to place. I suspect a lot of 3G iPod shuffle owners will forgo all this button pushing.
