Did you get your iPod Suckle just yet? Come on, how come you never heard of it? Oh, yeah, my bad, we're talking about the new iPod Shuffle, but I think they should change the name a little. After all, "Suckle" matches the little bastard better!
This new iPod, apart from being extremely light and really tiny, succeeded in making your life with it harder than it was ever before. I know, I am evil, and totally subjective. The thing is that I watched some feedback on various forums, and most people seemed to be happy with this new iPod. Fortunately, yesterday I found out that I am not the only one to include the new iPod Shuffle in the "worst MP3 players" list...
...because iLounge made justice:
"it’s also the worst iPod the company has ever released—designed not for the value-conscious consumers who originally wanted shuffles, but apparently, for the ever-narrowing niche of athletic users who want to listen to music but for whatever reason find the similarly shrinking, Nike-friendly iPod nano unappealing. In brief, the third-generation iPod shuffle is more challenging to use for simple things than the versions that came before, the least distinctive visually, and the most overpriced relative to what it actually delivers. It may be a clean design visually and impressive electronically, but conceptually, it’s a mess."
Should I add anything else? Oh, yeah, just a thought - should we call it "iPod Suckle," or just "iPod Suckage," huh?

Tis the worst ipod ever. Just non-functional. The earbuds on my other 8, yes I said eight ipods/iphone never even get unwrapped, they don't fit my ears, have terrible sound - and thus if Apple thinks I need to be forced into using their earphones, they just lost my business.
Bought a refurb shuffle of the older generation instead.
