Interesting Review of the New iPod Shuffle

I have been amazed that a product that takes control away from the listener, actually refer to this "dumbing down" as a feature. I don't know, seems like a silly product to me. But then, I am not interested in losing control of the play list.

The Long Tail: The case against the Shuffle: "One of the interesting questions that came up during the workshop was about Apple's new iPod Shuffle. In provacateur mode, I described it as a 'value subtract' product, arguing that the lack of a display would limit its success."
