Apple's new line of iPods might be the best ever, if only because last year's models were plagued with technical problems and miscalculations.

Looking back at Apple's press event yesterday, it seemed like each new iPod was intended, at least in part, to right the wrongs of 2009. Let's take a closer look:

iPod Shuffle

When introducing the fourth-generation iPod Shuffle, Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs said people like last year's addition of Voiceover, a feature that dictates playlists and song information, but they "clearly missed the buttons" of the second-generation Shuffle. By moving buttons onto the earbuds, Apple prevented people from using their own sets without pricey adapters. It didn't help when some of Apple's own earbuds malfunctioned, forcing a replacement program. Jobs said the new Shuffle combines "the best of both worlds," which is a nice way of saying Apple messed up with the button-free model.
