Review Summary
In today’s world, size is everything that matters. Be it mobiles or MP3 players, it’s on the pocket-sized that all are eager to get their hands on. The Apple iPod Shuffle has been described as the smallest available MP3 player in the world by many. Measuring at 41*27*10.5mm, and weighing only 15 g, the Apple iPod Shuffle holds true its description as the puniest. Fashioned from aluminium, it includes a built-in clip, which allows one to fasten the device to a pocket, belt or shirt. The Shuffle aids AAC, WAV, and AIFF formats. To make up for the lack of display and the inability to play videos, is the superior sound quality. Unlike the iPod Nano, which includes its own USB adapter, the Shuffle accommodates a USB 2.0 dock, which can be connected to the computer for charging. The battery will live up to an estimate of 12 hours.
Armed with a 1GB memory, the Shuffle can be loaded with up to 240 songs. The music will be played either the way it was selected, or as the name suggests, in a shuffled manner. The Shuffle is the only iPod provided with a customary dock, which matches in size with the player. The quality of the headphones supplied by Apple not being satisfactory, audio fidelity can be improved with earbuds of ones own choice. The sleekness of design is evident from the manner in which the controls and two LEDs are contained at the top and bottom of the device. The purpose of the LEDs is explained with the help of a credit-card sized card provided by Apple along with the device. The Apple iPod Shuffle is an ideal companion for those who merge two hobbies, listening to music and exercising. So be sure to check this product out the next time you go shopping.

The basic format and design of Apple's revolutionary iPod has remained unchanged over the years and despite many pretenders to the throne, its popularity has never waned. It's a design classic and Apple has wisely declined to mess with it. Read more

Just as people are getting used to the ability to squeeze entire music collections into ever-smaller players, the micro-sized iPod shuffle is sure to elicit "wows" from friends and family. It's also a dead-cert for Christmas lists, and at an amazing £32 marks an affordable entry point into digital music, and of course a real winner with joggers, gym nuts and the super cool. Read more

Verdict Serious music lovers will desire the flexibility of a higher-end player, which can hold significantly more music, let you browse for the tunes you want and tell you what you're listening to. For more casual listeners though, the Shuffle is a good balance between price, functionality and ease of use. Read more

Apple have made the technology of downloading music with the help of itunes a piece of cake, i do not know what i was worrying about it was so simple. The ipod s... Read more

Reviewer: Dave, Amazon30 March 2008- Overall 8
I bought this to replace a Creative Zen Nano 1GB MP3 Player (which has developed an annoying habit of switching itself off for no reason). The sound quality is not quite as good as the Creative (which has a built in graphic equalizer function for listening to different styles) but having said that it is excellent for such a tiny compact, convenient device. The clip is extremely useful to me as I listen to music while working out in the gym and it clips easily onto shi... Read more
