I think the Shuffle is an iPod of compromise. It's good for the gym, as it weighs basically nothing and already has a built in clip. However, you have to give up the song control. That can be a little frustrating. I'm a bit of an Apple geek and have three iPod to suit my needs. Basically, one for every occasion. I only take the shuffle to the gym and all of the songs fit my gym tempo, so I don't have to get too picky song-wise.
The voice over feature looks interesting. I guess they are trying it out on the shuffle to see how people respond and will eventually move it on to other/new models.
$79 for 4 gigs is a decent price.
