The new iPod shuffle is slick, without controls of any kind on the surface; everything is done on the earbuds. Plus, it talks back, so finally it makes sense to not have a screen. I wonder what will happen when it encounters Chinese songs? I'm guessing it turns back to the old iPod shuffle.
[Update: 16 March 2009] Just learned from SCMP (subscription required) that the new shuffle does speak Chinese--in Putonghua, with a Beijing female accent.
