New iPod crew: 'Phoney, futuristic, retro, doomed'

Do the iPod shuffle.

My girlfriend put her 2nd gen shuffle through the washing machine, and after a day of drying out in a rehab clinic it works again!

I shall gladly buy the 4th gen shuffle on the buttons alone.

Those without a TV licence could subscribe for a monthly fee.

Simple.
