I hate how Apple is tying the functionality of the new Nanos (FM radio) and the new shuffles (all the playback controls) to their goddamn proprietary headphones.

So basically, if you buy a new Shuffle and you lose the headphones or they break, you need to shell out for new Apple earphones (overpriced), or the Apple in-Ear buds (very overpriced), or shell out for 3rd party phones that have support for Apple's system.

If you buy a new Nano and you want to use the radio, you have to be using their Apple phones, again.

Total BS.
