Technobob Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Apple also added a new "VoiceOver" feature that allows the iPod shuffle to speak your song titles, artists and playlist names. All of the controls are located on the earphone cord. http://www.macrumors.com/2009/03/11/apple-...ack-and-silver/ The problem I see with having the controls on the headphone cord is what if you want to use other headphones you won't be able to control it other then selecting random or continuous play that are on the unit it's self. I wonder how long it will be before the RIAA starts to {censored} about copyright as it's speaking the song info.

Maxintosh Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Yeah it looks really nice, but I agree, what if you want to use a different headphone? Buttons should be on the unit itself.

Lostgame Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 What the...seriously, the iPod shuffle did not need to be smaller. Although that voiceover shit is neat.
