iHate

we get it. you're cute and tiny and oooooo soooo simple to use. well guess what apple? your new lil shuffle sucks!

is it too much to ask you to simply work? without fail, 20 minutes into my workout it starts freaking out. first the volume goes. then you can't skip songs. but worst of all, this robotic voice cuts in during each song OVER AND OVER AND OVER telling me the artist and song title. "juuuuuust da-aaance laaadeeee gaaaga." then it'll start skipping and get even quieter.

before i know it, i'm in the middle of my workout, legitimately angry and completely distracted. obviously, this is not conducive to my gym productivity.

yes, i'm surrrrre i could just take it in to the apple store (and i'm sure i will eventually) butttttt i've had enough and i'm ready to throw this thing in the trash. i really can't remember the last time i hated a gadget so very much.

anyone else have any problems with their stupid shuffle?!

Shoot! I was thinking about getting one of these so I didn't have to run with my big honking ipod....

I haven't had a shuffle in a longtime but their design in general just seems to small and simple to possibly be effective. My fears are officially confirmed. How annoying.
