Honestly, I wouldn't mess with the Shuffle (except to make one in black). It does exactly what it needs to do. It's the ultimate minimalist device - it plays music and nothing else. I bought mine the first day of release and ended up using it more than my regular iPod - for commuting music that's all the storage that I need, and if it gets lost/stolen/broken it's less of a deal than were it a full-sized iPod.
It has its niche, and it fits in that niche very, very well. I don't see any real way Apple could improve upon it without compromising its innate simplicity.
(Well, again, except to make it black...)
