The iPod Shuffle does ;despite its name; play tracks sequentially. I have one and there is a switch on the side which changes between 'shuffle' and 'sequential' playback.

I don't get it. The shuffle was a very niché product before. So Apple didn't correct this. Why the bitching? Just don't buy it. Ford has been offering the Ka for 10 years now. I never liked it. I don't bitch about it though. Because I don't expect every product of every company to be aimed at me.

In the same vein: if you think Apple products are too expensive over here, and they are, don't buy them. If enough people follow suit, Apple is going to have to drop the prices. Or give up on this market entirely. Then we'll all have to make do without iThings altogether. Maybe it will be a cleansing experience, like what Ghandi did or whatever...

Couldn't agree more. Who the hell wants video playback on a device that size?

That said, I wouldn't mind FM.

Well, I was disappointed too that Apple did not significantly update the shuffle with a small screen and an increase in capacity, a la Sansa Clip. I think the shuffle is being sidelined before being quietly dropped, alas. This would be a real pity as many of us do not want portable video or a large player, and really cannot get along with using Windows Media player. How is Songbird coming along? Slowly, very slowly, as always.
