Clip on and Rock Out in Three New Colors
Clip
Thanks to a built-in clip, iPod shuffle goes with anything. Clip it to your sleeve, your running shorts, or your jacket. No matter where you wear it, iPod shuffle speaks volumes about your style.
Controls
iPod shuffle pays respect to its bigger siblings with a circular control pad that puts the "go" in ergonomic. Click the center button to play and pause. Click the outer buttons to move back, skip forward, and adjust the volume. iPod shuffle is so easy to use, you can control it with one hand--even without looking.
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, iPod shuffle may keep rocking even longer than you do.
Shuffle Switch
Whatever happens, happens. Mix up your music with a flip of the shuffle switch. Flip it again to play your handpicked playlists, workout mixes, and albums in the order you synced them with iTunes.
Dock Connector
iPod shuffle comes with a dock that makes it easy to connect to your Mac or PC for a quick charge or sync. Add a playlist or let iTunes autofill your iPod shuffle with songs chosen randomly from your music library. You'll always be surprised by what it picks.
Put a Little Music On--Then Take Off
It's easy to wear, easy to use, and remarkably small--which makes a huge difference at the gym, on a run, or on the go.
Reduced Environmental Impact
iPod shuffle embodies Apple's continuing environmental progress. It is designed with the following features to reduce environmental impact:
- PVC-free headphones
- Highly recyclable aluminum enclosure

IPOD Shuffle - Old model not the new one, November 27, 2009
By
Makakilo Joe (Hawaii)
I love my old school IPOD--unfortunately, it's so small, I washed it in the laundry so I needed a new one. To my dismay, Apple redesigned the model so I couldn't get a new one. I don't like the new one because the controls are on the headphones--when I run the controls would get sweaty and short out the device. So thanks to Amazon for helping me find the old school version.

Josh BubblesThere's not much here. You put music on it. It's a big playlist - it's kind of hard to handle, because iTunes wants to make it Autofill and do all kinds of fancy things to you and your unit. Then you unplug the device, you turn it on, and music plays.
You do have to learn some morse code to understand the iPod Shuffle's language. After walking around with the cheat sheet piece of paper, I got the gist of it quickly. Older iPod fans many have issues seeing the small, tiny dot and decyphering its meanings.
I had an issue with the Shuffle. Apple's return and repair policy is exceptional and swift.
The sound quality is average and the battery life isn't anything special.
All in all, the Shuffle is a rather boring, abet simple product. It does come with a slight learning cirve, and there are definitely cheaper and easier alternatives out there. For some people, it could be their dream come true.

OsThe product is in great condition. It works fine. It looks like new plus 90 days warranty, you can't beat that. Delivery was fast also. Overall I am happy with this purchase, thanks.
Does anyone remember that this was $59.00 from Apple?, November 18, 2009

Okay, I love the iPod shuffle for what it is - compact, almost indestructible, and easy. And I believe that iTunes is the best music player on Mac or PC, and makes it exceptionally easy to manage your music and synch with iPods. But THIS WAS A $59.00 ITEM from Apple. As of this writing, Nov. 18, 2009, you can get them at the Apple Store refurbished, with a full one year warranty, for $39.00. This clown is selling them for $199.99 which is, let me see, almost FOUR TIMES THE ORIGINAL APPLE PRICE. If you are stupid enough to pay that much then PLEASE don't complain that they cost too much. If you don't like the charging dock that comes with it there are several options available on Amazon, starting at about three bucks.
I admit that this is not the best ONLY iPod, but it is certainly an excellent OTHER iPod. Unless you only want an iPod to work out with, in which case this IS the best iPod, and much better than any of its competition.

Ipod arrived fine, but charging dock was not working. I had to buy a different charging dock. Good price.
