Apple 1GB Shuffle - New Lower Price, Same Popular Player, Check it Out!!!,
November 16, 2007 This review is from: Apple iPod shuffle 1 GB Blue (2nd Generation) OLD MODEL (Electronics)
Apple's iPod Shuffle is a compact MP3 player that's great for working out, running or just plain music listening on the go. The new lower price as of January 2008 makes the relatively high cost of the device a little more bearable. Great as a gift, extra player, or exercise companion.
Pros
- Newly lowered price!!!!
- Compact and functional design
- Nicely integrated clip - No case needed!
- Great family of Apple accessories
- Great for those already used to iTunes
- Included in-ear headphones are great for a starter pair
- Lots of great color options (silver, green, purple, blue)
- Highly durable player

Great little product that you can tuck into any pocket. It holds enough music for me to listen to. I just wish it included the accessory to hook up to my car too, but for the price, I'm not expecting much. It works for me!
