Review: iPod shuffle 4G

Overview:

It’s the cheapest iPod, yet one of my favorites. I use it all the time. It’s so small and portable. If you haven’t seen an iPod shuffle 4G yet it’s about the size of a quarter. That’s tiny! I can’t put all my music on it, but I have well over 200 songs on it. Apple pretty much combined the third and second generation models to get the ultimate package.

Review:

It’s a 2GB device that stores file via USB flash drive. It weighs in at only 0.44 ounces! The iPod shuffle has a built-in Lithium-ion battery. You will get about 15 hours the shuffle. It has a physical clip on the back, so you can clip it onto your shirt or sleeve and go. Great build quality. The new shuffle brings back the buttons, and it looks very similar to the second generation iPod shuffle. It also takes something from the third generation iPod shuffle. VoiceOver. There’s a button on the top, and if you press it off a lady’s voice will say the song. If you click it twice it will tell you the battery life. I really like this feature, and I use it ton.

My thoughts:

I use it mostly at the gym. With the clip on the back I don’t have to worry about it falling out of my pocket while working out. Has a great build quality. It certainly doesn’t replace the iPod touch or even the nano, but it’s still a cool thing to have. It’s probably the best, most basic MP3 player out there, so if you are looking for a simplistic MP3 player for really cheap get the iPod shuffle.

Quite a.. err... shall we call it, concise review.

I'll take that as a compliment.
