Even the most budget-priced of iPods very good if you want to join iPod nation I finally broke down and acquired my very first iPod (from a credit card rewards program) after my SanDisk MP3 player stopped functioning. Originally I was going to replace it with another SanDisk, but then decided on joining iPod nation. Even though the SanDisk had an FM receiver and a voice recorder, the primary use was MP3 playback, and even though they offered a good product for the money, it wasn't the easiest thing to navigate and use in a pinch. I figured millions of iPod users can't b...

Ideal for those who exercise.. I have owned an iPod Mini for the past year, and it is truly a wonderful device. Even so, and as small as the Mini is, it can still feel a bit bulky and cumbersome to use while out on my daily jogs and walks with the dog.
So enter the iPod Shuffle. The two big things it has going for it is the weight (feels as light as a feather), and its ease of use. I am able to start and pause with a quick tap of the finger. With the Mini, I find myself fumbling around with the belt clip, and str...

Shuffle killed by sweat, disappointed with quality I used my shuffle while running, and it was great; used a larger set of headphones, as those supplied fall out of my ears when running. After a month or so, the sweat from my body killed the iPod: at first it would cut out during a run and then come back to life after it dried. After a few runs like this, it quit altogether: the switch no longer turned the unit on. Apple needs to make the unit more robust. I would run with it under my shirt; if you do get one, make sure you keep it away from...

The Only iPod I'll ever buy I like Apple, but let's face it, longevity is not their prime concern when designing their products. Its planned obselecence to the extreme. Its almost a joke, that when you buy an Apple device, that its obsolete the second your foot leaves the store. Plus, you cant change a battery, swap a drive, or add feature without having to shell out 150 bucks for their stupid AppleCare extended warranty program. So thats why this, the CHEAPEST of the iPods, is the only one I'll ever buy. When it conk...

Good audio device, too big to be a flash drive I first saw the ipod shuffle, I thought it was pointless and didn't think it would sell well because of the lack of lcd screen. But once apple dropped the price of the shuffle I decided to get one because it was so cool looking and doubled as a flash drive......
For me, the shuffle because when I had my ipod mini, Every song I owned was on it and could never decide what to listen to. When I used the shuffle mode on it, I would just skip through most of the songs because I wasn't fami...

Convienent I received my shuffle as a Christmas gift and have used it constantly ever since.
The PROS:
1. Easy to use: The controls are intuitive and well-designed
2. Battery life: I have heard and read general complaints of ipods having poor battery life. The shuffle (and Nano) utilize solid state memory, which apparently uses less battery life than other ipods. I dock mine about every 2-3 nights, and haven't had any problems with the battery when I'm out.

Not far from perfect Apple was aiming to produce an elegant, tiny personal digital music player with only one standout feature (shuffle play) and they succeeded almost perfectly. It's amazingly compact and lightweight, simple to use, and hassle-free except as noted below. Battery life is excellent. The i-Tunes software that comes with it is the state of the art in flexibility, functionality, and ease.
There's no compelling reason not to buy this, but here are a few cavils to consider:

Good for what it is -- a dumbed down Ipod in a small package This is an amazingly small version of an Ipod that can hold a fair amount of music (about 8-10 CDS or so) and play it I received my shuffle as a Christmas gift and have used it constantly ever since.
The PROS:
1. Easy to use: The controls are intuitive and well-designed
2. Battery life: I have heard and read general complaints of ipods having poor battery life. The shuffle (and Nano) utilize solid state memory, which apparently uses less battery life than other ipods. I dock mine about every 2-3 nights, and haven't had any problems with the battery when I'm out.

iPod Prestige at a "bargain" price Apple's iPod "Shuffle," released after a flurry of hype early in 2005, is a combination of many wonderful features with many drawbacks -- though it is up to the individual user and his or her needs that decides whether or not these drawbacks are serious.
Pros:
1 - iPod "prestige" -- what this means is that you have the great feeling of owning an iPod -- a trendy device that many young people like to own, not only for its practical uses but also for the sake of having it...

Good player with limits For music alone I would be fine with this player. However, I use mine for audio books purchased at (...) and it's not so great for that. Just recognize you will want what it doesn't have in a very short time. - No screen to see where you are at on a track. - Must learn to decifer blinks to learn about battery and other details. Not hard, but an annoyance. - Fast forward and Rewind are very slow. So if you loose your place in the 8hr long audio book track (which happens often...
