Do the iPod shuffle.

My girlfriend put her 2nd gen shuffle through the washing machine, and after a day of drying out in a rehab clinic it works again!

I avoided the 3rd gen like the plague, even after losing my 2nd gen I could see the shortcomings of the inline headphones (I had some with my iphone which insta-broke).

I shall gladly buy the 4th gen shuffle on the buttons alone.

Where is the money?

How do they hope to achieve this when they are squeezing I.T. budgets?

Acer

Acer Windows 7 Upgrade = £12

A bit more reasonable I suppose, and at least I get an OS on disk for once...

Good idea

Restricting iPlayer would be easy, those with a TV licence can sign up for an online account, just like Sky Player or 4OD.

Those without a TV licence could subscribe for a monthly fee.

Simple.
