About

The iPod shuffle 3rd Generation broke away from the last generation's form to instead opt for a buttonless design. This shuffle has been criticized for requiring in-line controls on headphones to play, skip, fast forward/reverse, and change volume. The only slider on this shuffle allowed you to either shuffle, loop, or turn off the device. But, it was praised for the new VoiceOver feature, which would be carried over into the next generation of the shuffle. This generation of shuffle also had the "special edition" stainless steel version, which only came in 4GB. This generation of shuffle was discontinued on September 1st, 2010.
