What I don't get is why they overloaded the middle button so much and ignored the volume buttons.
perhaps something like a double click on the middle buttons puts it into control mode and then the up and down buttons skip on click and ff/rew on hold.
I dunno...it just seems like this one would be even harder to use than the previous generation.
Apple seem to be very unwilling to overload volume keys in general; for example, one of the volume keys would make a way better shutter release for the iPhone camera but that hasn't happened.
Given that I'm used to using the single/double/triple clicks on my iPhone to control music when I'm cycling* (one=play-pause, two=next track, three=previous track) I don't find the shuffle hard to deal with at all. I'd kinda like the long press to read me track title and artist on the phone, actually...
