Besides those who applauded the new iPod shuffle is also about the critics. Unable to use third-party headphones and connect to a stereo or car for the lack of controls, all located on the remote. Apple promises a solution but in the meantime who is already looking to the old shuffle still selling at 45 euros.
There are only applause for the new iPod shuffle. Indeed for several websites and even some email came to our site, you receive criticism, even harsh, some of the choices made by Apple.
The main concerns the system of control of content. Apple has removed every key from the device, placing the ignition and the transition from one track to another remote spot on headphones. Given that the only headphones on the market with this detail are produced by Apple, the result is that currently it is impossible to use the iPod with other headphones. “Using the iPod for running – wrote to our site Fabrizio – and the Apple headphones are a pain, are not already in your ears when you sit imagined when you run. So I bought the Nike headphones that are useless with the new iPod. I would not buy. ” The lack of appeal to the public of the runners is very serious as it is known preference (personally witnessed by the writer) in the shuffle by the runners.
The objection, very practical, can be overcome only partially thinking that you can match the new iPods including the new In Ear Headphones for Apple. iPod shuffle and headphones come with a 150 euro, more than an iPod nano 8GB, however, in addition to the cost, it also indicates the fact that many people find this type of earphones that end up in uncomfortable headset cable. Is a more valid Budfits, an accessory (cost 10 euros in the next photo taken from the Cebit Macity) that adds support to wrap virtually all standard headphones.
Those who use iPods to listen to music from a stereo or car does not, at present, no solution. The new shuffle is completely useless in this case.
Apple has already announced that work with third parties in order to overcome these difficulties, but when we talk only of headphones with remote control without the Apple brand. To make a real step forward would require an adapter which provides controls for headphones and for each device connected to the jack, then connect to, for example, the iPod in the car or to an external amplifier and headphones that one may already have at home. The ability of an adapter to close the “hole” but the cost depends on if you get there (as likely) to 15 euros for a shuffle be used with other headphones, you should spend 100 euros, less than 139 for an iPod nano but has twice the memory and a display, not to mention the ability to show movies and much, much more.
Another problem? Here it is: ‘I seem to have realized that the iPod shuffle goes by only one song to another – says “Lorentz” – listening to a podcast if I have to hear everything? “The question answered by some sites that confirm that indeed you can not switch quickly from one point in a song, nor is it even possible to scroll through a podcast. In reality it is not the case, there is a sequence of keys that allows forward and backward speed: Double-click and press the central button: fast forward, three clicks and you press the central button: back fast. If you fear that your iPod interpret and three double-click in a while ‘… subjective and is likely a “true” would know better perform the task, probably you are right.
So the doubts on the new iPod is no shortage and it is possible that Apple and suppliers of accessories are forced to run to give the reader what it lacks in order to satisfy at least part of the public. In the meantime, if you do not belong to the rest of the customers, those who believe them to shuffle as a small player to listen to music while they go to subway or train, will be interested in the new shuffle for which the new shuffle is very valid, please contact the old shuffle still selling at 45 euros, although its capacity is only 1 GB.

It seems that someone claimed success from iPhone in the past months can not go down, at least judging by this article appeared edition on U.S. women’s magazine Vogue, whose protagonist Melinda, the wife of Bill Gates. Hearing saying that the spouse of the founder of Microsoft when he speaks of what she and the merits have banned their children:
“There are few things on the list of items that are banned in our house. Certainly the iPod and the iPhone are 2 items that do not take our children. ”
Yet the call of the ‘forbidden fruit’ (not for nothing … this is Apple) is also strong for Melinda (and even here, nomen omen, as the ancient Romans):
“Every time I look also to my friends and think, ‘Ooh, really I would not mind an iPhone’.”
