Title: Apple iPod shuffle (2nd generation) MP3 player
Pros: Size, style, light
Cons: No screen, no hold button
Verdict: This is a lovely looking player, but chances are you've already got its music capabilities already in your pocket
Summary: - It's small. So small that even when we got it out the box knowing that it was going to be small we were still surprised how small it actually is. Hopefully even by now you get the idea that the new look iPod shuffle is small.

Title: Apple iPod Shuffle 2G
Verdict: The iPod Shuffle evolves. The simplicity of the original is augmented with an even smaller case that feels like the remote control of a larger player. It's let down only by the need for a dock - and a unique dock at that. The Shuffle's not for everyone -
Summary: The first iPod Shuffle was something of a surprise. Apple had already said it didn't think too much of Flash-based, low-capacity players, though that's just what the Shuffle was. It didn't even have a screen, unlike so many of its rivals, forcing many an

Title: iPod shuffle
Pros: Inexpensive; good sound; good battery life; easy iTunes controls.
Cons: No display; LEDs can be cryptic; connecting to some computers requires add-on accessories.
Summary: To appreciate the iPod shuffle you must abandon some notions of what a music player must be. For example, if you demand that you be able to pick exactly the song you want to hear when you want to hear it, the iPod shuffle isn't for you. Instead, the iPod

Summary: Apple iPod ShuffleIt's true: the second-generation iPod Shuffle (1GB) is the lowest-profile MP3 player we've laid eyes on. Apple may have been slow out of the gate, but the company has succeeded in launching perhaps the tiniest and simplest player on the

Title: Review: Apple iPod Shuffle (2G)
Pros: Tiny, beautifully designed shell. Easy to use, with minimal buttons. Sturdy clip. Colored aluminum looks great and shiny.
Cons: Dearth of features. Sound quality is not as good as larger iPods. No WMA support, even for non-DRM files. Proprietary connector.
Summary: The latest version of Apple's iPod Shuffle comes packed in a tiny aluminum shell, weighing just over half an ounce. Is it a complete music player package, or will it leave you wanting more?

Title: Apple iPod shuffle
Pros: Small and cuteBuilt-in clipVery good audio
Cons: Very poor valueStill only 1GBNo new features

Title: Apple iPod shuffle
Verdict: Just as people are getting used to the ability to squeeze entire music collections into ever-smaller players, the micro-sized iPod shuffle is sure to elicit "wows" from friends and family. It's also a dead-cert for Christmas lists, and at an amazing £32 m
Summary: Apple's first iPod shuffle was the smallest digital-music player on the market. Version 2 makes that old model look positively cumbersome.

Title: New Shuffle, Old Tricks'- New iPod Shuffle Review
Summary: The brand new iPod shuffle has landed in the UK but you could be mistaken for wondering what's new. It is certainly smaller and more stylish but is this a case of two steps forward and one back for the baby iPod?

Title: Apple iPod shuffle Power Users’ Review
Pros: Apple's smallest, lightest, and cheapest iPod yet, with an industry-leading price point and enough music playback features to satisfy some users
Cons: Major compromises on features (especially the absence of a screen) will suit new iPod users more than experienced ones, and force old users to adapt to the shuffle's limited ways of organizing and playing back music. By no means a must-have product for cu

Pros: Very good sound quality. Extremely compact and sleek. Seamless integration with iTunes. Built-in clip. Sturdy aluminum casing. Inexpensive.
Cons: No screen. Doesn't work with iPod accessories that require a 30-pin dock connector. Charge/sync dock is bulky. No extra features.

Title: iPod shuffle 1GB
Pros: Amazing size & sound, Ultimate portability, Very low $79 price
Cons: Dock-dongle required, Blah-quality previous-gen headphones included
Verdict: Despite my minor irritation with the shuffle's dock-dongle, I am excited to give this new product an enthusiastic and vigorous 'two thumbs up'. The design of the shuffle itself is fantastic. The sound quality is stunning, so long as you use good third-par
