What Others Say
Perfect for kids!
I bought two of these for my kids (7 & 10) -- they are the perfect size, they don't lose them because it hangs around their necks and it has PLENTY of room for their songs. I download audiobooks for my 7 year old and they both can share my music library (with my permission). No screen to break when they fall out of the car when the door opens and if somehow it does break, it didn't break the bank to buy in the first place!
It's all you need, if that's all you need.
I walk and lift weights for exercise. I can quickly go from walking music to weight lifting music. I can listen while I workout, or being a couch potato. If your not looking to spend alot and want to just listen to your music in an easy up to date fashion go with this unit or any other no frills(video etc.) version. Great sound easy to use.
The best iPod ever?
I bought one of these and used it for about a year. Then we went to the beach and when we came back, I realized I had left some lucky cleaning person the best loaded iPod in America...now I am writing about my long lost friend, the first generation iPod Shuffle.
The whole point of simplicity is to keep it simple and not be distracted endlessly by poor quality add-on fluff. One reviewer called this a "dumbed down ipod"...I guess that person didn't have the money to buy the iPod they were actually wanting, the one that plays Bono videos so tiny that you can't even tell what you are seeing. That's too bad for them, but no need to trash this gem on account of a bad purchasing decision. I have had and played with many versions of the ... Read More
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 Apple iPod shuffle 512 MB White (1st Generation) 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
