New iPod Shuffle and Nanos

They look good but I hope they've left in the ability to use earbud controls (the ones on the earbud cable), especially for the iPod nano (even if they don't ship with earbuds with the controls. It would be a pain for the nano having to get a visual on the screen to make any changes and it
