Tiny and sleek
Strengths: Sleek aluminum body, tiny size
Weakness: No screen, so small - easy to lose or misplace, cant use as a USB memory card, unlike the last gen
Tiny little thing this is! One has to be careful that they don't sit on it - because if that clip in the back is bent, it wont sit in the dock - and the dock is the only way to connect to the computer to download songs. Overall, it is an improvement over the previous version in terms of size and feel, but the tiny size introduces its own set of problems. No screen, so importing songs could be a...

Perfect companion
Strengths: Size, ease of use, no hassle charging, price
Weakness: Can lose it if you are not careful ! Earphones can be improved
I have used a lot of other mp3 players. 2nd generation ipod shuffle is the best for my use. I don't need a display nor a video screen, but like to listen to my favorite music when I commute to work. These days, I have also started to put on my ipod while at work. I never wanted a player which needed a battery. It is a hassle to replace batteries or charge them separately. Size of 1gb is ideal as...

Great compact iPod!
Strengths: So, so, so, so small!!; Easy iPod interface; includes dock; no need to buy accessories (armband, lanyard)
Weakness: Old headphones; compatibility problems with USB storage devices; expensive ($'s/MB)
I have been an iPod fan for years. While I don't think they provide great value for the dollar (competitors usually provide more features, and cost less), they are usually the best designs and are the easiest to use. I have had the first generation iPod shuffle since it first came out, and use it while I am jogging. It's perfect for this, as I don't need to mess with a screen. I select the songs...

very cool product if you don't mind not having screen
Strengths: small size with clip, great built quailty, easy to install software
Weakness: $80 for 1G is not cheap. no direct USB connection. (have to use USB dock) long charging time.
bought this last Friday at Apple store. Not many people are interested in Shuffle. I like it because it's size. It is so tiny!!! weights like a few grams. the first time battery charging was 10+ hours. Again, because it doesn't have a screen, you cannot browse what song to play. It's either continuous or shuffled, which I don't mind at all. The only drawback is that you need a USB dock (comes in...

A very cool product
Strengths: Um, did I mention it's tiny?
Weakness: Old earbuds. Which suck.
Bought this as a jogging companion for my wife. It really boggles the mind to see how tiny it is. The lack of screen has been one of the minor points of contention surrounding this product, and yet this is ideal for a sports device. In addition, the lack of a screen results in a great battery life - around 11 or 12 hours. It seems that Apple is finally learning that it cannot charge 2-3 times the...
