Advantages: Small, stylish, light, holds approximately 240 songs
Disadvantages: No LCD readout or radio.

...After having searched relentlessly for a decent MP3 Player with decent memory at a low price, I finally decided on the ipod shuffle. Now I have never been a big fan of Apple but I have to say this thing caught my eye, even if it is tiny. With measurements of 1.07 inches high, 1.62 inches wide and 0.41 inches deep, this surely is an example of the proverbial good thing and small package. For all you metric people out there that’s approximately 2.71cm (h) x 4.11cm (w) x 1.04cm (d). It also only weighs 0.55 oz or 15.6 grammes ((approx). The ipod shuffle is sleek and stylish and comes in silver, green, blue, pink or orange. I of course had to go for pink being a girly girl and am very happy with my choice. Apple deems this as the most wearable MP3 player although they could be biased as they did make it! Anyway, the ipod shuffle has... Read review

Advantages: its small size, long battery life
Disadvantages: do not buy a mini when you can buy a shuffle

...I won one of these ipod shuffle 1st generations in a raffle at my scool, I kept this for quite some time and then decided to sell it so I could by the ipod mini in green. This was a big mistake i could of ever made, once I had bought the mini I realised that I could not have the mini around my neck without making it ache or have the same amount of running time as the shuffle. Apple have recently brought out the 2nd generation of the ipod shuffle which is a must have not only was i surprised at its amazing size but the battery life of one seems to never end, the shuffle comes in many colours and i happened to choose blue. It holds approx 240 songs and is really good value for its money as it is complete with docking station and also i received the new style earphones that creates brilliant sound quality music....

Advantages: Slim, Easy to use, good storage
Disadvantages: Lack of support from Apple unless you pay

...Apple is the rival to Sony when it comes to music entertainment. I think that Apple make the most superior mp3. Players. The navigation through the menus are simple and easy and you have the option of searching for your favourite music by searching through the album track or artist. The ipod is slim and light and you sometimes forget it’s in your pocket. The 2nd generation of ipod is a marked improvement from the first ever ipod that to say the least was the size and weight of the old school game boys made by Nintendo. The ipod also runs from itunes, itunes to me is better and easier to upload to and from and navigate than Microsoft Media Player. Media player 9 is very difficult to navigate but even though every so often itunes has a more up to date version it keeps the navigation simple and thus promotes ease of use. When you buy...

Advantages: Ridiculously small, colour screen, good battery life, ultra cool
Disadvantages: Ridiculously small, no mains adapter included only USB cable

...After owning numerous iPods including the latest colour U2 special edition, I was more than happy with the whole Apple digital music experience. After the rumours started to circulate that Apple would release a 4GB shuffle in the next two weeks, I thought to myself "OK, but nothing special". That was until I saw the video of the latest Apple music conference which had details of the latest Motorola ROKR (MP3 phone compatible with iTunes) followed up with the amazing iPod Nano! At first glance the Nano appears to be another iPod, which is essentially correct. But you really do need to handle one to appreciate the miracle that has been achieved. This thing is minute, and I mean really tiny. Thinner than a standard pencil, it really has pushed the boundary of what people consider small for a gadget. I would have been equally amazed...

Advantages: Easy To Use And Very Portable
Disadvantages: None So Far

...Apple iPod Shuffle 1GB The Apple iPod Shuffle is a great mp3 player and it's very easy to use. With 1GB of memory you can go wrong. You can hold up to 250 songs which is great. Some people think this mp3 player is a waste of time due to the fact that it has no screen. However I think this mp3 player is easy to use especially when you're doing sport activities such as running or going to the gym. The click wheel on the front of the player is somewhat like the click wheel on the iPod Nano. The only difference is that this click wheel is not touch sensitive. You click the middle button to pause and play the music. On the click wheel you can adjust the volume of the music and change the song. One of the individual features about this iPod Shuffle is the clip on the back. This means you can wear your iPod Shuffle. You can clip it to your... Read review
