Waterproof iPod Shuffle The iPod shuffle is one of the most unique in Apple’s portable devices line. Simply due to the fact that it’s the smallest and it's the only one without a screen. Even the tiny iPod Nano gets a screen. Some have argued that a la...

Just to recap, this year Apple took the buttons away from the new iPod Nano, but bought them back for the new shuffle. Last year, Apple abandoned the design of the iPod shuffle and moved from a square sized player, to a more minimalistic design where...
You cant really complain about the iPod shuffle. I mean sure, it would have been nice if there was a 4GB option, and maybe it’d be nice if the in-box headphones had inline controls. But otherwise we think Apple was pretty smart with the redesign of th...

The guys who literally transformed the term “mp3 player” to “iPod” have evolved their byte-sized sound device, the Shuffle. Is it only good for shuffling your feet or can it give you a drift? Check it out. Design and FeaturesThe Shuffle is not a new pr...
So, what should you make of this product? Is it good enough to revive their Shuffle sales? Not really, because you can usually expect a lot more from Apple and this time they have not been up to the mark. This time, Apple seems to have priced it aggres...

I am not sure about the generation number of iPod Shuffle. It must be version No 4. There was a transitional variant with new colors and prices as well. So, we have generation 3.5 or something similar. It is not important anyway. I would like to s...
You can use any headphones and will not feel the difference, because the button is on its body anyway. You may like the green nature of the player as: The box is really minute and I especially enjoy tiny logos with text "Start here". As to the advant...

Apple's fourth-generation iPod shuffle isn't going to elicit any "you've come a long way, baby" accolades, but adding a click wheel for navigation makes it far more user friendly. The shuffle has always been the least sexy player in the iPod line-up—a...
Lowest-priced iPod. Now has on-player controls for easier navigation. Voiceover feature speaks the name of songs, artists, and playlists.
Not a lot of storage. No screen, thus no video or photo support. Bundled with lousy earbuds.
It's hard to get excited about an iPod with no screen, but Apple's inclusion of on-player controls makes the affordable shuffle easier to navigate—and a better value. Buy it now...
