Apple has a new iPod shuffle out.  I was in the market for a new one, since the first gen I'm using is starting to lose its ability to hold a charge.  But I'll never buy this new one.  Sure, the ability of the new shuffle to talk is kind of cool, but you have to use the Apple earbuds to control it.  I hate earbuds to begin with, and Apple's aren't all that great.  The shuffle itself has no controls.  That means I can't use my own earphones with it.  

Someone said to me:  "Well, their will be 3rd party earphones for it soon enough."  Yeah, but I want to use the earphones I already have.  Way to go Apple.  You saved an ounce and lost a sale.
