Innovation

One look at the new iPod Shuffle and it is evident that it is an Apple product.

The clean lines...

The curves...

The elegant design...

But there seems to be something missing. No, I do not mean buttons.

I mean Mr. Jobs.

Its just different. I cannot understand why they would move the buttons onto the earphones. That would mean that third party earphones will not work without an adapter.

The difference here is that Steve Jobs would be able to convince you that having the button on the earphones is a major improvement. He would be able to sell this "imperfection" (for lack of a better word).

Without Steve Jobs, there would be no Apple today.

Without Steve Jobs, will there be an Apple tomorrow?
