Though, for my aesthetics, I prefer the taller versions. I may just have to pick one up on clearance.

The new features though sound really cool, too bad though that my iPod is still quite young with just a year old or so, not worth it yet to buy a new one . But a couple years from now when Apple is a couple series further again and mine dies it’ll be a surprise to see which features there are available for me at that time again .

Now if Apple would just get the Audiobooks out of the Music menu, like they did in iTunes, it’d be even better. You can work around it by customizing the Main and Music menus, but it should be set that way by default.

Oh, and another awesome new feature. You can finally choose to shuffle directly from the “Now playing” song. When you press the center button, you get the different functions, like before, for quick seek, star ratings, etc. And now there’s a new screen for choosing to shuffle songs, albums or neither. Much more convenient than going back into the Settings menu every time you want to turn shuffle on or off.
