bit of moisture on them it would tatlloy jack up the shuffle. Now, what kind of activities would most people buy the tiny shuffle mp3 player for versus a nano or standard iPod? Oh, maybe jogging or working out? And what do you do with physical activities like this? That's right, you sweat! So it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the problem with the 3rd gen shuffle a problem that should have been seen before they ever even produced it. Just read all the reviews for the 3rd gen and you'll see that this was not just a minor issue, but a huge one that the majority of the users had to deal with. It is good to see they came to their sense and we can once again use the shuffle during exercise. UPDATE: July 2011 I'm still using my Shuffle every time I go to the gym or jog. It still works great. The only problem I have with it is that if you clip the shuffle onto your clothes and at any time try to un-clip and move it somewhere else it is extremely hard to not hit the controls since they take up almost the entire front of the ipod which if it had a hold button on it would not be a problem. Not the biggest issue in the world, but just sometimes annoying.
