Smallification Gone To Far?

Ooooo, a new Apple product, so sleek and small and simple. So sexy. This time a redesign of their micro-mp3 player the ipod Shuffle. Discuss amongst yourselves.

The up-side:
- Well, it's smaller. Yeah, I get it, but isn't there a cut-off where we don't really feel a difference between a product that weighs 1/8 oz. vs one that weighs a 1/16?
-They've incorporated a way to navigate different playlists, Ok, that's nice, in theory.

The down-side:
-All controls are incorporated into the  apple earbuds, which I guess a lot of people like, but I find them to be doodoo garbage.
-And a new voiceover feature seems weird and not really useful.
