i was thinking about buying one of these for when i go running. But i need headphones that stick to my ears.
Well that totally rules out the possibility of being an exercise affiliate. :p
Just noticed that, they've killed off their target market...:nutkick:
Not necessarily.
I bought my shuffle as I could afford it and the lack of screen didn't bother me as I don't skip any tracks. I like to let my tracks go through one-by-one and I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one.

U'r kidding. These will sell by the millions even if some1 slates the headphones online.
It's almost beyond the generations of players people have at home in some cases.
I know myself there's better players out there, but I'll be damned if I'm carrying a phone and a player.
I hate the method of delivery Apple use on these things, but the average jo lap it up as it's simple for them.
U ask the same average person what they think about their Apple products, even the cheaper ones, and they'll reply they love them cos they just work.
Enthusiasts try things the average wouldn't and hence can afford to be picky - for right and wrong reasons.
It's where Apple have stolen the market in that sense. U tell the same average people that they can swap their media device/phone for something with windows on it and they'd beg u not to - normally out of fear of how their crappy works pc performs.
The average are likely to have an Apple at home computing wize too (or atleast long-to), simply cos they just work. If u don't think enthusiastly about them, they're almost idea.
(I liked windows on my previous mobiles)

1). somebody brings out a 3rd party mod to let us use regular headphones
2). Apple realise this is a stupid plan and nobody is dumb enough to buy it because of the worst headphones in the history of time.
