IF the headphone thing is in fact true, that's a pretty terrible decision. what about people who like using sound canceling headphones (i.e. bose and what not) or just other headphones in general? no offense to apple, but their included set isn't really top notch. i'd think that would turn away a lot of people if this were true
UPDATE on the headphone issue (from CNET):

While ordering Apple's new iPod Shuffle online, a strange thing happened as I was checking out: Apple recommended some headphones to me that seemed incompatible with the Shuffle. The way I understand it, the latest third-generation iPod Shuffle has migrated all of its playback controls to a remote on the headphone cable, which means that replacement headphones will need to include a similar remote in order to function properly. Sure, you can probably get away with plugging any pair of headphones into the new Shuffle, but if you want control over volume, pause, and skip, you'll need something a little more specialized.
