  • 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

  • Higher capacity, Tiny size, Incredible looks
  • Horrible controls, Youll have to buy new accessories
  • VoiceOver is available in 14 languages, none of which are Indian. You have to download a language pack, which is just a few MB in size, but setting it up requires just one sync. It’s as accurate as any text-to-speech application, which means good wi...

  • Incredibly small design, convenient clip at the back, 4 GB of capacity
  • No way to control player with other headphones, poor sound quality with default earphones, data cable is too short, average battery life
  • Theres one thing that you can now be sure of when it comes to Apple products -- theyre going to be small; as small as the laws of physics could allow. We have seen them doing it for several of their products in the past and they have now done it for ...

  • The third-generation Apple iPod shuffle is as light as a feather and as small as a paper clip, and it includes VoiceOver cues, and improved support for podcasts and audiobooks.
  • 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.
  • The third-generation iPod shuffle is the next best thing to an invisible MP3 player, but the quirky controls and microscopic design make it a limited recommendation.

  • Small and lightweight; playlists can be chosen; large ­storage ­capacity.
  • Complex controls; cannot use thirdparty earphones.
  • The iPod shuffle is an improvement over its predecessor as it can select playlists, has a larger storage to hold more songs and is smaller in size. However, the lack of buttons on the player means you have to memorise complex commands, which is not wh...

  • For all its tiny-ness, portability, ups and downs, the iPod Shuffle is mean to be a secondary MP3 player for casual use.Its basic functions and easy to use controls, added to its amazingly wearable design, is great for those wanting to take music on th...

  • Apple has spearheaded the touchscreen phenomenon with the iPhone. While it's still in its early stages, the 3rd generation iPod shuffle could very well be Apple's way of experimenting with voice technology as another way of interacting with a device. A...

  • La fonction VoiceOver, Le remplissage manuel ou automatique, La belle finition, La gestion des podcasts (perfectible)
  • L'absence d'écran au vu de la capacité de stockage, La profusion de combinaisons sur la télécommande, Le principe des écouteurs propriétaires, Le choix de couleurs redevenu limité, Le prix un peu élevé, L'autonomie en baisse
  • On peine à imaginer le successeur de ce baladeur (quoique, le retour à des déclinaisons colorées et un pilotage à la voix…) tant celui-ci semble toucher aux limites du concept du shuffle imaginé il y a quatre ans. Un baladeur sans écran de 4 Go représente...
