Not a lot of storage. No screen
Thus no video or photo support. Bundled with lousy earbuds.
Difficult to use clip without pressing buttons
Limited features for the price
The 2GB capacity can't hold much
There's no headphone remote nor radio
The track controls tend to get pinched when clipping the iPod to your clothes
And the chances of you accidentally running it through the washing machine are quite high
Loses headphones with inline controls
Half the storage space as the last-generation shuffle
Awkward to clip on clothing
No way to lock out controls from inadvertent bumps
Learning curve for Button locking and Playlists
Features are not competitive with rival products at the same price. Even slower than unimpressive predecessor for music and file transfers. Initial collection of colors is muted and somewhat dull by comparison with the best past iPod models

The iPod Shuffle returns to its big-button glory days, only this time around it offers support for playlists, audiobooks, podcasts, Genius Mixes, and a multilingual VoiceOver feature that announces track information, battery status, and menu navigation
The 2GB capacity can't hold much, there's no headphone remote nor radio, the track controls tend to get pinched when clipping the iPod to your clothes, and the chances of you accidentally running it through the washing machine are quite high
The iPod Shuffle's buttons are back, and the lightest, smallest MP3 player on the planet is now better than ever.
