It's for gym addicts, or those who just don't want to splash out on pricey MP3 players. If you're the latter, you're unlikely to splash out on new headphones for it either.

I guess that shouldn't come as much as a surprise in Apple's proprietary kingdom. I'm still trying to figure out why Apple is discontinuing the 2GB shuffle and not the 1 GB shuffle. Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to dump the 1 GB and make 2 GB the new entry level? I guess it didn't make sense to anybody at Apple.
