I expect at least this in an iPod Shuffle. What do you think about this design?

Just a small bit of fan art made for how I think the iPod Shuffle should be because not everybody now a days (2011) likes classic navigation buttons.

What are peoples thoughts on this on this?

He edited it to make it easier for people to read, which is fine, but leaving the last remark, and down-voting was just rude.

That looks more like concept art for an iPod nano. The whole point of a shuffle, even since the first generation, was to be a screenless, tiny, portable, and inexpensive music player for on-the-go people. Meanwhile, the nano was designed for portability but also versatility and storage.

u are right, this is nothing innovative, what i feel as time goes on so is the expectation of people, i feel they now can install a small display or sort of thing to upgrade shuffle, it ll look great, n also price wont be very high given we hav so much of technology today.

The entire point of the Shuffle was for the purpose of playback. You did not need to see what you were playing, only hear it.

If you must know what song you are playing, or is coming up next. Or must have that control or choice then go get a player designed with that in mind.

That was not the idea of the Shuffle, which did exactly as its name implied. Shuffles your music, and it did that just fine.
