Apple iPod shuffle (Third-Generation)

Pros: Apple's smallest, lightest iPod yet, and first iPod shuffle 
with remote control functionality. Offers modestly better transfer 
speeds and audio quality than prior shuffle, replaces prior dock with 
simpler USB sync and charge cable. Adds VoiceOver feature to let you 
switch playlists, identify certain tracks, determine battery levels.

Cons: Needlessly and seriously complicates controls by switching to a 
buttonless body, which cannot be controlled without Apple headphones 
or not-yet-manufactured third-party proprietary remote control 
solutions; presently next to useless with car or home stereos. 
Confusing interface will be hard for many users to totally grasp and 
use. Poor value as either a 4GB media player or 4GB flash drive. Very 
slow at file transfers by current iPod standards. Battery power 
diminished considerably from prior model. Boring design.
