A few weeks back Apple released it latest version of it’s small portable music player.  This new version doesn’t even have buttons on the device but instead it incorporates controls on the headset sorta like how the iPhone has a mic and button to hang up calls or skip or stop songs.
The negative part about this new setup is the inability to use 3rd party headsets that people might already have.
I’m sure 3rd party companies will offer better aftermarket headsets with controls and better sound quality but I really think that will be a turn off for some buyers.
The new player is extremely small and incorporates a built in clip that makes it easy to attach to the listener.  It also boasts a 10 hour playback time when fully charged.
But the most amazing thing about this player is VoiceOver, the ability to speak track and artists names and also playlist names since the device has no readable LCD display.
