Sound quality of the Shuffle is very good, although we still don't rate Apple's bundled earphones very highly. Apple reckons the battery is good for 12 hours of playback, although the four-hour recharge time seems a little high. Still, there are no compla

At half the price of the competition and with twice the memory this new device will be a force to be reckoned with especially for those who have perhaps held back from buying an iPod. Apple's Senior Product Manager for the iPod, Danika Cleary believes the

The second-generation iPod shuffle is impressively small, and the built-in clip makes it ideal for working out, running, or just casual listening. Its lack of a screen or any extras like an FM tuner—or even support for many iPod accessories—is countered b

I am blown away with this iPod. I thought it looked cool when I first saw it on the Apple website, but didn't feel like I needed one. After actually seeing one, holding it and using it, I find it to be an incredible value. If you work out, or like to list

Serious music lovers will desire the flexibility of a higher-end player, which can hold significantly more music, let you browse for the tunes you want and tell you what you're listening to. For more casual listeners though, the Shuffle is a good balance

Just as people are getting used to the ability to squeeze entire music collections into ever-smaller players, the micro-sized iPod shuffle is sure to elicit "wows" from friends and family. It's also a dead-cert for Christmas lists, and at an amazing £32 m

Only a lack of display and more capacity holds the iPod Shuffle back from top marks.

This iPod is sure to be the season's most popular stocking stuffer, largely because it's robust, holds more than enough music for even a day-long workout, and is priced to move. The shuffle's small size is a testament to efficient engineering, but it also

Apple certainly had to make some compromises in order to craft the smallest and cheapest iPod ever available to consumers and while the old saying "sometimes less is more" rings true in some ways, sometimes "less" really is just less; at least in terms of

If you like your music playback simple and your device nearly invisible, the second-generation iPod Shuffle will suit you well. But absentminded users should steer clear of this easy-to-misplace player.

The iPod Shuffle evolves. The simplicity of the original is augmented with an even smaller case that feels like the remote control of a larger player. It's let down only by the need for a dock - and a unique dock at that. The Shuffle's not for everyone -

Pick the Shuffle or Cube2, only if small size is absolutely everything in a player--you want one you can carry in a purse, say, or wear around your neck when exercising. Otherwise, think bigger and better.

The Shuffles could be good alternatives for parents who don't have the budget or feel comfortable entrusting their kids with a $300 music player. They could also become a second player for owners of bigger iPods.

The second-generation Shuffle won’t win over those who were unimpressed by the original release, but it’s a solid pick for music lovers who don’t mind the lack of a display.

This remains a good solution for especially budget- and size-conscious iPod users, but it is not one that we'd otherwise recommend over any other member of the current family.
