The iPod Shuffle is dead

At the ripe old age of 14
My girlfriend slid a box across the table at a restaurant we picked for our second anniversary. I unwrapped it
And what I saw packed neatly inside a sporty

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

Apple's most affordable iPod is a cheap, workout-friendly option for listening to music or podcasts, but it shows its age with a reliance on iTunes syncing and lack of wireless support...
Abstract: Cannot fault this, and cannot believe you get so much so cheaply. This is the price of about three good CDs! I don't know how easy it is for people who don't have iTunes or a Mac. I have both, so it was incredibly easy to work, once I got the hang of iTun...

The iPod Shuffle in its current incarnation is probably the perfect music player for keeping you company during work, working out or traveling. It's so light and small you don't notice it's on you, the build quality is excellent, and despite its tiny si...
Great build quality, VoiceOver works well, Respectable sound quality
Still function-light, Limited storage
Apple did not make any grand functional changes to the iPod shuffle in 2012. But in keeping things simple, Apple has ensured the continued longevity of this postage stamp-sized player. If you want a day-to-day workhorse music pal, this is absolutely not w...
If you’re after a companion to keep you company whilst you’re going on your jog but don’t want to spend £129 for a 6th Generation iPod Nano then this is the one for you. However, if you’re after a music player that is small but stores more than 2GB the iP...
As typical of Apple hardware, build quality on the iPod shuffle is very good, solid and premium in feel all round. From the front, to the back where the iPod Shuffle clips onto clothing: the iPod Shuffle feels great. It’s the smallest iPod Shuffle that has produced, yet the buttons are larger, making the MP3 player easier to use on-the-go or in the gym. The iPod Shuffle is also so light, you’ll b
Sound is of very good quality, but it doesn’t quite match that of the large Apple iPod Touch. Nor does it reach its highest volume levels. It means that the iPad Shuffle isn’t quite the smaller alternative to the iPod Touch that it could be. A small 2GB capacity also fills up in no time. The supplied Apple headphones are sub-par, uncomfortable and leak a lot of sound. Purchasing a new non-Apple p
The iPod Shuffle might not be able to store as many songs as the rest of the iPod range but for £40 you’re getting one of the best, smallest and well-built MP3 players around perfect for when hitting the gym or on the move. So long as the awful headpho...
Apple's fourth-generation iPod Shuffle is a sleek and easy-to-use device, largely thanks to the return of the controls offered by the first- and second-generation Shuffles. The VoiceOver feature is also a big winner. Kevin Cheng, PCWorld.idg.com.au ...
No screen, Mediocre sound quality, Dreadful headphones
It's very simple: the shuffle is Apple's cheapest MP3 player, it's also the least attractive. While the nano is as strong a proposition as ever, we're left wondering just who might want a shuffle ... ...
