patrick who? O_O

when is this thing coming out then lol.

 

[Squizz]

I like using my shuffle in the car with a 3.5mm stereo cable; the shuffle itself can change tracks and adjust volume.
Can't do that (or connect to separate speakers) with this dumb ass shuffle.

 

[uraflit]

omg. ppl will lop this sh1t up!

the sleeker it looks, the more ppl who buy! gahaha

Apple's next gen shuffle.

 

[Adamora]

voice commands?

The new shuffle is a joke. 4GB, no music or volume controls on the device itself, and no display? It's a ridiculously cumbersome design that just screams that Apple has run out of ideas for a low-end DAP. For the same price there are superior choices. The reviews and description of this thing make it seem like stabbing an ice pick through your eardrums would be less painful than trying to use the thing. Apple is obviously banking on the iPod brand to sell this thing since if any other manufacturer tried this they'd have a snowball's chance in hell of selling any of these.

 

[Adamora]

id go for the shuffle instead of stabbing my ears with an ice pick

 

[swmtnbiker]

Oh, I don't know. The icepick is known for its sharp highs and eardrum-splitting bass. It might sound better than the Shuffle.

 

[Adamora]

but its too big, im going for compact. :3

 

[swmtnbiker]

True. The portability factor is an issue. I'll bet you can't use the Shuffle to bust up some ice for a nice, frosty margarita though.

 

[Adamora]

i live in a desert climate, so the shuffle gets my vote, BOOYA!

 

[swmtnbiker]

So do I (Phoenix, AZ), which is why I was extolling the virtues and utility of "The Pick".

I wonder how it would sound portably, pairing it with a Lisa lll, and Senn HD650's

Need cryo wires with it also.
