The shuffle.

Advantages: small.
Disadvantages: 1gb.

...I love design of the new shuffle, perfect for on the go. Great for use when excercising but I wouldn't use it as a full time mp3 player due to it only having 1GB. Only holding 240 songs isn't really perfect for somebody who enjoys having a large variation of music on their iPod but is perfect as a present for a youngster. The price is perfect for somebody who is on a tight buget and for someone who isn't attached to their mp3 twenty four seven. I find the ipod headphones break really easily, if buying any ipod please be careful with the head phones because they are a bugger to get new ones. Personally I wouldn't buy. The blue colour of this ipod shuffle is very easy on the eye but could be seen as tacky....

Shuffled Delight!

Advantages: Small, great looking, and very durable!
Disadvantages: Must be charged from a PC, no screen, and is easily misplaced!

...I've never really been a fan of any of Apple's products before, particularly the iPod. Yes, iPods seem great, but it's the price that worried me. This is why I was delighted to hear that the iPod Shuffle had been lowered to just £55 in my local Curry's store, so I went out and bought one. Design ---------- The Case: The sylish case is a small rectangular plastic case which you can see the iPod through. It comes with a very handy instruction manual, describing how to use the device, from downloading iTunes, to listning to the music, The classic white earphones are found at the back, which by the way, produce a very good sound. The iPod: The iPod shuffle is the smallest music player in the world. Most of the pictures you will see of the iPod is actual size. The iPod shuffle has no screen. Instead, there is a small white...

Anyone for a shuffle?!

Advantages: Small, easy to use, excellent quality!
Disadvantages: Lacks many features, can be too small!

...Apple's Ipod Shuffle is probably the smallest and lightest portable music player on the market. Being so small, it has many advantages, but also a few disadvantages too. At just 41 x 27 x 11 mm in size, and weighing in at a mere 15 grams, the 2nd Generation Ipod Shuffle can literally fit into any pocket imaginable, and being almost as light as a feather, means that it almost goes un-noticed whilst in the pocket. The obvious disadvantage to the size is that it can be too small at times, and misplacing the Ipod is a common problem in my household. The Ipod is also very durable, and has been subjected to many a fall, and the odd chewing by my little boy, yet still works perfectly and looks almost new. The Ipod Shuffle looks very stylish, and comes in a range of brilliant metallic colours, including silver, pink and blue. It has...

Shuffle Shuffle

Advantages: Small, discreet, great to use when jogging etc.
Disadvantages: Buttons can be fiddly, easy to lose, feels delicate!

...forward (right,) and volume control on it. This is easily understandable although I found the buttons a bit fiddly to use, especially if you've got big fingers. There's also a shuffle switch so you can listen to your music in a random order, or you can leave it in normal play, which plays them in alphabetical order. I found this product easy to use, and simple to understand although getting the hang of ITunes the first time took a while. It doesn't have any special features like in the bigger varieties of IPod, but for an MP3 player, it does it's job well. Sound quality is excellent, it looks stylish, what more could you want??...

Ipod shuffle

Advantages: Small, good sound quality, value for money, reliable, looks good
Disadvantages: easily scratched if left in pocket of keys

...I brought a blue ipod shuffle a little while back and i love it! The shuffle is good for those people who do not need a screen on their mp3 player. By not having a screen you are not constantly looking for a favourite song, the player will choose one for you and if you don't like it you are able to skip to the next one in line. 1GB capacity allows up to 240 songs to be stored and carried around with you where ever you go. Being just over 4cm long and 2.5cm thick it is small enough to put into your pocket without having to worry about it getting in the way. It can also be worn like a badge so that everyone can see your devotion to music. The controls are easy to use and self explanatory. To turn the shuffle on and off all that is needed is the little push of a switch on the top of the player. This means there is no holding down of various...

Ipod Shuffle

Advantages: Small and portable.
Disadvantages: Easy to lose if not careful

...This is a great little mp3 player for those people that are always on the go or those of you that just don't have room in your pocket for one of the bigger ipods. Its 1GB memory capacity may seem small in comparison to the bigger 20GB n 40GB but its better for those of you that like to limit yourself to a smaller selection of songs instead of being lost in all those songs you never listen to. One feature i think that this ipod shuffle is missing is a repeat button. Sometimes i just have one song I wish I could listen to over and over but to do that I need to hit back everytime the song finishes. Also the fact that the ipod uses the jack to charge instead of something similar to other ipods limit what you can buy for it to go along with it. Some of the features can be tricky to master at first but in time its all very simple...

ipod shuffle

Advantages: small hold lots of songs
Disadvantages: low battery life can't see song names

...i really dont like this mp3 player. yes it holds alot of songs and its small but you can't see what song your playing you have to skip through them untill you find it. the earphones that apple supply with the shuffle break easily i had mine for about 4 months before they stopped working and that was due to normal use. the battery life isn't that good either if your just letting it play through without skipping then it isn't bad but the more you skip or pause the quicker your battery runs out and that is the downfall of no batteries as you have to wait untill you are at a computer before you can charge it. itunes also automatically updates your ipod so if there is a song that has been deleted from itunes but you want it on your ipod its tough it gets deleted anyway....

Shuffling along...

Advantages: Very compact and lightweight
Disadvantages: Bad design docking station

...I am a proud owner of the new iPod Touch 8GB (which I have previously reviewed) but I am always getting moaned at about my choice of songs when my wife and I have it playing in the car. So, to beat this, I bought her one of these little Shuffles. It is perfect for her size wise as she can fit it in her handbag without making it too bulky or heavy, or as it is so light, she can simply attach it to her jacket with the built in clip. It comes in a number of colours, including green, blue and pink, but I went for the classic silver finish, which looks a little like brushed aluminium. It has an on/off switch which when in the off position, shows up a small green flash of paint/marking. This can be a little confusing as surely green means on? This maybe something Apple need to re-address in future models. The dock is completely different...

no truffle from this shuffle!

Advantages: nice design, compact, headphones a sensible length!
Disadvantages: no apple lossless suppport

...The shuffle was bought not to replace my iPod but to use at the gym, where I need free movement when working out. It was bought direct from Apple on impulse - and I made sure I used quidco to get some money back! It has been a bit of a love hate relationship. Which I will address in this review! ~Build Quality: Small Profile, with a Nice compact Design.... with the added feature of a clip so that it can clip onto you without any other accessory. Paint finish is textured and is nice to hold. The solid state memory which makes the shuffle quite compact. Battery life is impressive - and have had it for 4 months and go to the gym 4 times a week. Only charge it every 3 - 4 weeks! No lcd screen, however the buttons are the usual suspects and has a shuffle/linear playback functionality. Bit fiddly if you have fat fingers! It does...

Ipod Shuffle!

Advantages: small with a cool little clip
Disadvantages: screenless - but do you need all those extras features?

...Introduction: Apple originally released the Ipod in 2001 and it was designed to be another mp3 player to rival all the others. It proved to be hugely successful and easily out witted all its opponents. It was designed to be small and sleek compared to all the then bulky music players you had to carry around. Since the launch in 2001 Apple has sold millions of Ipods across the world and it is recognised as the ultimate in music players and is seen as somewhat of a fashion icon - there is no way you could mistake an Ipod for anything else. Apple has also released a variety of different Ipods and products to meet the needs of such a wide and diverse customer base. The range includes: Ipod Classic, the touch screen ipod Touch, the video-capable ipod Nano, the screenless ipod Shuffle and the iPhone. With there also being several older...
