Original Shuffle-the best
This first generation i-pod shuffle arrived within 4 business days even though I opted for standard shipping. The product was packaged well. My wife likes the sound of the 1st generation i-Pod Shuffle better than the 2nd generation type. Recommend this product if you can find one.
Great sound, perfect for podcasts
The first gen shuffle uses a different sound card than any other ipod. the sound card is better, especially at producing low frequency sounds. so if you like to listen to a few songs at a time, this will be perfect for your ears
also, podcast users know that listening to podcasts on a normal ipod is kind of a pain, because you have to navigate every time you finish a podcast, but this inconvenience doesn't hold true for the shuffle. it will play podcast files one after another continuously
Love it for a starter mp3 player
This is a great buy for someone who do not have experience with MP3 players. Very easy to download music.
Great product for kids!
We bought three Ipod Shuffles for my girls for Christmas. Not only do the girls love them, but so do my husband and I. They are easy to get working and very simple for them to use. I don't have to worry about the fancy screens (Nano's)that would confuse the kids. And I also got at a great deal. $40 bucks each! Needless to say I'm very happy with my purchase. I'm going to get one for my nephew next!
IPOD Shuffle
While I like my shuffle it has problems. Particularly with the software. We have 3 in our family and they all have the same problem As Apple produces more up graded ipods they ensure that you have to purchase a newer one because eventually you can't change your play lists or anything.
