Apple 1GB Shuffle - A steep price for a starter MP3 Player The iPod Shuffle second generation is a great MP3 player for working out or running, especially if you are a die-hard Apple fan. However, the steep price means you had better review all your options before you choose this.
Pros - Small size - Nice case design - Many color options - Highly durable player - Apple reputation
Cons - High price point - Less durable shell - Proprietary dock for syncing - Small capacity (1GB) wit...

Powerful sound, small casing! When I first listened to my new IPod shuffle, I was blown away by the sound. I couldn't believe this little item could sound this incredible! One possible downside is it can get lost easily due to it's small size. The clip is very nice to keep it from moving around. My previous shuffle would bounce around while I was on the recumbant bike. The shuffling of music doesn't work the greatest, I seem to hear some songs more than others.

Only works if YOU are good enough for Apple I am deployed to Afghanistan so as it is you have to have anything electronic you want mailed to family in the US and mailed to you, no one seems to be willing to send any electronics to an APO, so I guess the thought of major companies is that if we did not bring it we should not have it. So I went through the hoops and waited 2 weeks instead of the one it would have taken had they direct mailed. Then once I get it, they do not come with the software to load any music on it, you have to downl...

Very expense....wake up apple I have owned both shuffle and Creative Zen Stone plus. Below is a comparison.
0. Both retail for 70$ and both are really very cute. 1. Shuffle is apple while creative is not. So all the apple fans would buy it anyway. 2. Shuffle has no screen, zen stone plus has got a screen albeit a small one. 3. shuffle has 1gb memory while zen stone plus has 2gb. 4. No FM tuner for the shuffle. 5. No stop watch for the shuffle. 6. Shuffle is very Fragile while so far i...

Good system ruined by iTunes The iPod Shuffle is great, don't get me wrong. I owned the original version (the gum pack size unit) along with this one, but the overall idea is ruined by a couple of factors:
* It's iTunes or nothing. Fat chance you can load anything on this puppy without iTunes doing the work. Got music at work on your Microsoft Media Player? Too stinkin' bad. * If you get rid of the iPod (like I did, only because of iTunes) and opt to uninstall iTunes, you'll soon find out the iTunes is h...

What's all of the fuss about? I received this as a gift last Christmas. It does not list the names of the tracks or the artist being played. It is way too small and therefore an inconvenience. I stuck it in a drawer somewhere last January and there it has been ever since. It is not even worth my time or effort to see if it works.
