The iPod shuffle thing wasn't really about randomness, it was a UX failure. "To shuffle" means a specific thing. If I ask you to shuffle a deck of cards and give it to me so I can draw them one by one, I very much don't expect you to put each card back in the deck and re-shuffle it before every time I draw a new card.
