Anyone else think that removing controls from the actual device was a mistake?

It'll put some folk off I'm sure. Having to buy a separate wire for my trusty headphones certainly makes me think twice.
However - I'm fairly sure that the rest of the package is going to be _more_ attractive to a bunch of other folk - so I wouldn't be surprised if Apple doesn't care about the people who want separate headphones very much. They don't want to make everybody happy. They want to make the biggest market segment they can sell to happy. And best of luck to them ;-)
(Also - I'll wait to play with it myself. I didn't think I'd like the original clip-on shuffle. However - I'm very rarely without it on my person. The form factor won me over completely.)
