A not so simple gadget

I just bought an iPod shuffle. Some time ago I bought a La Crosse weather station, a surprisingly simple and useful gadget.

Looking at an iPod Shuffle, one would be forgiven for believing it to be simple. It is not. I have used four previous models of iPods and the shuffle was by far the most daunting. I had to spend time reading manuals and checking discussion boards before I managed to get one single track onto the Shuffle.

Sometimes I had the feeling that Apple complicated the Shuffle, to make people consider Mac OS X simple in comparison.
