Got Dad an iPod Shuffle for his birthday. Dad is visually impaired, and the 5 button, 1 switch interface is perfect for his needs. I’ve loaded 60 hours worth of books, and another 8 hours of music, ranging from classical, to the Beatles. He won’t have a problem charging it, but because the iTunes software doesn’t seem to support visually impaired software, I’ll be responsible for putting new books and music on for him. No biggie.
First question out of his mouth, after getting the Shuffle – “Does it come with your headphones?” The curse of nice toys. On the other hand, I won’t have to think hard when Christmas comes around.
Spoke too soon. Mom stepped up, and since she hasn’t bought him a present yet, asked me to place an order for her. She wants a Shuffle now, as well. Apple needs to put me on a commission plan.
