  • Lacks a display
  • Requires dock to charge
  • Needs removable clip. Not usable as a flash drive. Sound not as crisp as previous model. Original earphones included. Requires a dock.
  • Being limited to 128-Kps AAC. Small enough to lose. Larger capacity Nano with screen is not that much more expensive and does sound better.

  • Included earbuds are adequate at best
  • The iPod Shuffle has no screen
  • So theres no way to navigate easily among artists
  • Albums
  • Or playlists. And it only offers so-so sound quality. The player might be too small for some users

  • Versatile design, compact, durable
  • No screen, can only sync with one computer, mediocre sound quality The Final Word The shuffle would serve well as a secondary music player for exercise, but too many limitations - most notably the lack of screen - make it a poor choice for everyday use.

  • Tiny carrying weight, easy controls.
  • No display, integrated battery, odd USB charger.
  • Theres no doubt that simply having the iPod branding will sell units, and theres still some fashion cachet to having an iPod - with the new colours, probably even more. The Shuffle isnt the most revolutionary player out there, even in the very small...

  • It may not be the best value iPod around, but the Shuffle is among the ones at the front when it comes to sound quality. Its still a great player to keep in a bag or in the car for those occasions when you dont have your main music player or phone t...
