One of the Best Ipod Values

After years of going through several IPod products, this is probably one of my favourite!  It's easy to use, conveniently portable, and this green is absolutely an adorable shade!  I would recommend this to any music lover with an on-the-go lifestyle.

I received the 2GB Ipod Shuffle as a gift in late 06 (is this a 2nd gen, not sure), so at the time, I did not realize how inexpensive it was for what you get (now $69 for 2GB, $49 for 1GB).  I believe the 2GB allows about 500 songs, which is more than enough for the daily commute, and since I don't need to have my entire music collection with me, it's more than enough space.  However, if you spend more time listening to it than a couple of hours a day, this may not be enough for you and still allow for as much variety.

As for other features, it's a mixed bag.  The clip is great, and only now, after almost 2 years, it is starting to get a little loose.  With exercise, it's still not really sturdy enough to hold in place, especially if you're a runner.  The battery life could be better but not terrible... I usually have to recharge every 2 or 3 days (after approx 5 hours of play).  Like with many other IPods, I hate the earbuds, which will crap out after a couple of months of regular use.  The charger is easy to use and easily accessible through your USB.  All in all, very easy to use for non-technical users.

It's a great value for an IPod product.  It's probably a little too light on features and capacity for a hard-core music lover, but would be a highly portable and stylish supplement to a more solid IPod.
