I seriously don't see why they would do that (other than trying to promote Apple computers, and the off chance that somebody who purchased a Shuffle may buy an iMac just to get the better voice =P)

May be Apple has turned to the power of nagging to convert Windows user?

I dont like how apple did this new shuffle, converting people to them... :p
Especially with the headphones im very upset with that :p But yeah hopefully 3rd party will create a control unit for it...

And i hope PC users can choose the voice :p but i dont mind i got a mac anyway :p

I do love the formfactor really tiny, and quality build and materials.

Looks interesting. I wonder how you change volume and tracks.

The original ipod shuffle sounded so good because of the SigmaTel SoC inside. One of the analog engineers designed an integrated headphone amp that was best in it's class. Apple went all snooty and changed their design (SoC) after that. I really don't think the shuffle will ever sound as good again.
