I know it's for gym/jogging and to some degree functionaility can be sacrificed for size(or, just for cool).
But at least it's not good for me because of these points:
1. Because of the ultimately simplified controls, I cannot go back or repeat the song I'm listening to.
2. I have to bear Apple's poor quality earbud because the controls are located on the earbud cord.
3. It'd be too slow to play playlist if you have many of them, you have to wait for the voiceover to read all until the very last playlist you wanna play. (quoted from one of my friends)
4. I thought apple would not add a feature that might be helpful but not mature or good enough. However now they did. That is VoiceOver.
5. For those left-handed people, the controls on right earbud cord might be inconvenient.
(of course they can swap left and right, but why do they have to do that?)
What's next?
iPod shuffle, iPod flea, iPod germ, iPod atom, iPod quak, or iPod nothing ?

Hey Chen, I think you'd find this control chart pretty funny. Or confusing.

Either way, I don't like the VoiceOver idea very much, nor the removing of controls to their headphones, for the reasons you gave. Well not about being left handed, but because the Apple provided earphones are pretty terrible. Which is a shame, because the iPod Shuffle used to have the best audio quality of all the iPods...
Have fun doing work.
