Using either witchcraft, fairy dust or highly gifted engineers (we're not sure which), Apple has created an iPod Shuffle of an almost impossibly small size. Only slightly bigger than a U.S. quarter, this teesy-weesy device packs 1GB of Storage space. Enough for up to 240 of your favorite songs! Apple also attached a clip to the back of the Shuffle, so you can wear it anywhere for skip-free Music playback. Perfect for working out or just walking down the street. Unit Dimensions - 1.62 x 1.07 x 0.41 (inc. clip) Unit Weight - 0.55 oz. Color - Purple

Thanks to a built-in clip, iPod shuffle goes with anything. Clip it to your sleeve, lapel, coin pocket. No matter where you wear it, iPod shuffle speaks volumes about your style.
Shuffle switch
Embrace your inner rebel: Flip the shuffle switch to mix up iPod shuffle's contents. Flip it again to play your handpicked playlists and
albums in the order you synced them from iTunes.
Battery indicator
Green means go, amber means you're low, and red means you've almost hit zero. But with up to 12 hours of battery life, the iPod shuffle
may keep rocking even longer than you do.
Headphone jack
The headphone jack does double-duty as a dock connector. Flip iPod shuffle upside-down and drop it into the included dock. Connect the
dock to your Mac or PC for a quick sync and charge. Away from your computer? Charge on the go with the optional Apple USB power
adapter.

nifty![]()
The shuffle is cool. The only thing is that it has a nice clip, but my gym clothes don't have anywhere to clip it too. So I put it in my
pocket. Where it is hard to skip songs, change volume etc/.
I haven't figured out yet how to manually add music, so that is an issue. But the extremely small size of this makes it a lot of fun. I
really like it.
BAD IPOD![]()
Not only did I purchase the IPOD Shuffle but paid fpr shipping. It did not work and now I have to pay to ship the thing back? Not great
service and really bad product. Won't be doing this again.
It killed my computer - Thanks Apple![]()
Well we bought one of these things for my fiance's birthday (because it was cute...as all Apple products are) and within 20 minutes my
computer was completely inoperable. Following the super simple installation directions downloaded the required software, installed it on
my XP Pro machine and everything seemed fine. I plugged in the ipod and began getting a nagging "USB Device not recognized" message.
After a reboot the thing seemed to work. I copied a couple of songs to it and (safely) ejected the device and was able to listen to the
songs. Great success! But after I returned it to it's cradle I again get the message about the USB blah blah blah.
Could it be that I have to reboot the computer every time I want to use the stupid iPod? That sucks. So then I reboot again. After the XP
splash screen I get...nothing. That's right...nothing. I reboot again. Nothing. And again and again. I remove the ipod from the USB port.
Same thing. Safe mode won't boot. ERD commander doesn't find anything wrong. I finally get it to boot into VGA mode of all things. I
manually remove all (this was the only USB device I had) usb devices from the registry and reboot. It is noteworthy that with ZERO usb
devices detected I am still getting the flashing "USB Device not recognized" error every 2 seconds or so. Moving right along.
The machine comes back up and begins detecting the USB Root hubs (as I expected) and then...USB DEVICE NOT FREAKIN' RECOGNIZED! So after
a few hours of trying to fix this computer I decided to re-install
Windows. I'm in computer support and fix Macs and PC's all day long. I should have known to expect this kind of crap from apple. It
really makes me wonder why these Apple Zealots are so high on overpriced garbage. I picked up a creative stone instead. And guess what?
It works like a charm.
If I have convinced 1 person to shuffle on past this POS I've done my job.
