I had a chance to play with the latest Ipod Shuffle 3rd generation. It's a very simple player but packed with many unique features.
On the left, is the earphone, then the Ipod Shuffle, and the USB charger ala data transfer cable. I am particular amazed with Apple's engineering, having able to embed USB data cable onto a 3.5mm jack.
It also features a reflective clip. On the player, there's nothing that a user can fiddle with but a tab that switches between OFF, shuffle and repeat mode. Self explanatory via the icons.
The volume control is positioned along the earphone which allows ease of access. The unique part of this device is that by holding the middle button, it would read out the title of the song being played. I was really amazed with the accuration of the pronouncation. Being a unique product, seems like Apple has adopted a diffrentiation strategy eh. In terms of Bowman strategy clock, I guess it's strategy clock number 4 for differentiation strategy. (Sorry, been studying alot of P3 - Business Analaysis recently 
The sound quality is also up to expectation.
Along with other package contents is an Apple logo sticker. I proudly sticked that to my PC Casing. I guess I'm halfway becoming an iFag.
