Running with this player can cause involuntary volume activation
No display
Proprietary charge / sync cable

Buttons poorly located on headphone cable
Small size makes it easy to misplace
VoiceOver not substitute for LCD screen...
Proper operation requires research
Practice
Patience
Cant fast forward or rewind (Cue/Review)
Controls built into low-quality earphones. No display. No FM tuner. Bundled USB cable is too short.
Needlessly and seriously complicates controls by switching to a buttonless body
Which cannot be controlled without Apple headphones or not-yet-manufactured third-party proprietary remote control solutions
Presently next to useless with car or home s
Awkwardly placed inline controls
Users can only use the included headphones
Proprietary headphones are required. Control set awkward and hard to use. The thing could be easily mistaken for a thumb drive or a tie clip for that matter.
You need to operate the Shuffle using a pill-size remote control on your headphones
Battery life isnt great
Features are few
And the design is a bit boring.
Lack of features
Unusual control system
Controller is built into Apple earbuds
No controls on iPod
Navigation more difficult than in the past thanks to headphone-based controls
Battery charge poorer than in the past
Tiny switch on top of iPod difficult to manage with adult fingers

Abstract: Apples tiniest iPod has had the tiniest of upgrades with the addition of new colour choices. Its still a seriously limited player that we cant really recommend unless you utterly must have something "iPod branded".While the Nanos had a grab-bag of...
In-line controls are easier to access when jogging/walking, minimalist design, VoiceOver feature, supports multiple playlists, 4GB storage
Too small, can’t use standard third-party headphones, shuffle slider button too small, multiple click sequences are frustrating
If you are the type of person who will simply switch on your iPod and let it play, then the new iPod shuffle may appeal to you. As it stands, though, Apple’s latest music player is too small, uses a frustrating control system and doesn’t allow...
Abstract: Apple’s third-generation iPod shuffle will please minimalist-design enthusiasts. Smaller than a USB thumb drive, it’s completely devoid of buttons, knobs, and a screen. While it is attractive, the shuffle’s earbud controls and VoiceOver feature might ...
Abstract: This past September saw a slight bump in the razor-thin feature set of the iPod shuffle, but no change in its equally lithe form -- which might be a good thing. The way Apple's going, the next shuffle will likely be a circuit board printed on a grain of r...

Abstract: When you first lay eyes on the iPod shuffle, you are going to be in total disbelief. The aluminum encased hardware is about the size of a child's pinky, and there is not a button, knob or screen to be found anywhere on the device. There is a headphone jac...
Undeniably sexy for something so small, but having to use Apple's dedicated earbuds knocks this down a peg or two.The runt of the Apple litter has learnt a new trick: the third generation Shuffle can talk! But can it walk the iPod walk? In two words&h...
Good for sports fans but poor headphones and awkward controls make this a niche product only Good points Very small and light; great for exercise Bad points Lousy headphones; awkward controls ...
Abstract: The latest version of the iPod shuffle is notable for two things: it now comes in five colours - silver, black, pink, blue and green - and the headphone remote is now available in earphones from third-party manufacturers, which means that you no longer...
