"Introducing VoiceOver, the feature that gives iPod shuffle a voice. With the press of a *button*, it tells you what song is playing and who’s performing it." - Ionut

A button on the device, or the proprietary remote dongle? - Ken Sheppardson

The button's on the headphones cord now. - Akiva

This is a seriously "want" worthy device. - Rahul Das

Hmm... I can't seem to find the button on my Shure E2c earphones... - Mike Sego

Hmm, the fact that the voice over sounds different on Mac vs PC means its being generated on the host computer in iTunes and saved to the device. If so, why couldn't they pick a better speech synthesizer engine? - Ray Cromwell

The fact that there is precisely one set of headphones in the world that this will work with; and those are shitty apple headphones? That's a deal killer. I already have a limited range of headphones because my primary music device is an iphone and I want to have headphones with the built-in mic - reducing that to just one choice is ridiculous. - James Polley

Agree. I didn't buy UE11 Pros for nothing. - Robert Linthicum

On the headphones, why didn't they overload the volume buttons more? The whole thing of having VoiceOver read a long list of playlists and hitting the button to stop on the one you want would be much more pleasant if you could hit the +/- volume buttons to rapidly skip through, interrupting the VoiceOver. otherwise, it has the irritating characteristics of a voice mail system - Ray Cromwell

Too many buttons would be too confusing: http://friendfeed.com/e... - Jemm

Holy crap, is this real? I thought it was a joke! That's effin ridiculous. - Bec Rowe @d0tski
