 New Colors - Same Solid Shuffle September 15, 2008
9 out of 11 found this review helpful
There is nothing wrong with this iPod Shuffle. However, as time has worn on, it's simply less exciting.
It wasn't actually updated on the September 2008 update, but some additional colors were added including this sharp blue.
Overall, the Shuffle still works great. You sync some of your favorite music to it, and then listen in order, or choose to shuffle it. I must admit that mine sits on my desk and isn't used very often, but it's still nice to have, for its amazingly small size and light weight. Some like having an extra small device for traveling, but I find the Nano and Touch to be perfectly small enough, and the Nano starts at 149.
If you want to save the money, and you just want to get some music out of iTunes onto a device, this will do it for you at a really great value. No problems. Also, perhaps you want it as a second iPod, another fine option. However, if you are getting your first iPod, and you do not mind the cost of an entry-level Nano, you'll enjoy being able to find your music on the display.
The Shuffle has its place and gets the job done, but it's just not as exciting as the other iPods, nor is always having your playlist "blind," always convenient.
 A great way to start! September 14, 2008
If you are considering a first time iPod for yourself or a gift this is it! I found it easy to operate, affordable and great fun! I am upgrading to a large iPod because I loved this one so much.
Great product September 10, 2008
Best $70 I ever spent. Nice and tiny so wearing while running makes it almost weightless.
Nothing wrong with it, but others are more exciting. September 10, 2008

Great for commuting September 9, 2008
I use this 2gb shuffle for the train ride to/from Chicago - it's perfect for my absolute favorite artists (as I don't need to see the song titles, etc.). So light, can't even tell it's attached to my shirt collar. Great player for short trips, whereas the 80gb classic is for the long road trips.
