Apple you are starting to piss me off
March 17th, 2009
Read a mildly irritating article this morning from digg.com.
So not only has Apple decided it’s a good idea to remove all the buttons from the IPod Shuffle and incorporate them into the inline headphone remote, surprise surprise the chip set to do so is proprietary. Meaning anybody else who wants to make headphones that control the new IPod Shuffle will have to pay Apple licensing fees for the privilege of doing so. From what the article said it sounds like the chip set isn’t encrypted or locked down in anyway but without the fancy Designed for IPod logo you pretty much lose all credibility with Apple customers.
