Tapstick Cures Migraines From One-Button iPod Shuffle

If you’ve developed migraines attempting to navigate Apple’s oh-too-cute one-button iPod Shuffle interface while fuming over the controls on the iPod’s proprietary headphones, we might have your answer: the Tapstick.

The $30 Tapstick is a double-whammy. Not only does the device return your buttons for play, pause, skip, navigate and the VoiceOver feature, the accessory from Scosche plugs into any headset.

Although minimalism is hot – witness the iPhone’s sleek design – carried to its natural conclusion brings us form over function with the Shuffle a prime example. While reviving a few buttons may seem like a small move in the right direction, it should save many Shuffles from being relegated to the spare change drawers and unused gadget box.
