3G Shuffle hints at new iPhone designs

Yesterday, Apple released the 3rd generation Shuffle, their low man on the totem pole of MP3 players. The new design is almost inconceivably smaller than the 2nd generation and moves function buttons off the device in favor of having them on the earphone cord. A break out feature guides you by voice to get to the song of playlist you desire as there is no screen. What can this latest player to hop out of Cupertino tell us about a new iPhone?

I say plenty. Apple loves their family look and there is every reason to believe we’ll see some of the concepts in the Shuffle carried into the next generation iPhone.
