    So, we have $79 for a 4GB player that needs a $20 accessory before you can use a different set of headphones than the set that comes with them. It's only real function is to use to work out.
    On the other hand, you can buy a 4GB Sansa Clip for $47.95 at Amazon, or an 8GB for $78.38. You also get an FM radio, voice recorder, and a screen.
    If you wish to stay with Apple (iTunes), you can still get the 1GB 2nd generation shuffle for $49 from Apple.
    Since Jobs came back, Apple has made very few missteps, but the 3rd generation Shuffle is, in my opinion anyway.

    I bought a 2gb Sansa Clip for $20 shipped from Woot earlier this year. But wow, I should have saved my money and gotten a headphone adapter! (plus $75 for the shuffle)

    @cc82: lol... Awesome! I too recently picked up a Sansa Clip. I missed the woot sale but I managed to pick up a 4gb Clip for just over $40. I really do not understand the point of a shuffle...

    @Captian_Caveman: The clip is a pretty slick player for a great price. AND you don't need to buy any adapters for it. Go figure.

    The problem is this dongle will connect before the headphones, right by the shuffle itself. You might as well put the controls on the shuffle then, since they're no longer located "more conviniently" up the headphone cord.

    @my name is jonas: Yeah because controls on the actual device wouldn't of been convenient at all.

    I don't foresee the current shuffle living on. If apple even releases another shuffle I don't think its going to have the same design.

    In reply to At Last, Use Any Headset With the iPod Shuffle
    Please stop bashing Apple. Voice Control is one of my favorite new features which exposes me to new music.

    For example, when I say "Play Songs By Jane's Addiction", Voice Control says "Artist Not Recognized." Eventually, after four or five failures, I wind up having to listen to newer not as good music.

    Thanks Apple.

    @OMG! Ponies!: Don't listen to the haters, Jane's Addiction is one of my favorite bands. Perry Farrell has one of the most unique voices around.

    That and summertime is one of my favorite songs

    But she makes damn good dance music and that goes a long way.

    @SamburgerHandwich: I don't know if I'd put Carmen Electra in the positive category (Lest we forget she was in Scary Movie) but I get your point.

    Jane Says live ranks up there in my list too.

    So add $20 to the cost of every shuffle unless you like those crappy earphones Apple keeps sending with their products.

    Oh, sorry, I had honestly forgotten that the shuffle was still part of Apple's lineup. Personally, I recall America having lost interest quite a while ago... Even moreso when this wasn't available at launch.

    @alexmg2420: I've yet to see a new shuffle in the wild, but they are great for working out. That's the only market I see for it.

    It was a great value las gen, but Shuffle+$20 certainly isn't worth it.
