512MB iPod shuffle 1st Generation

Pros: Awesome sound,extremely lightweight

Cons: none I've come across

The Bottom Line: great for jogging and working out,awesome sound

Review: I got my ipod shuffle off ebay and shipped to me here in India.At 85$(including shipping) it was a steal considering it retails here for 175$.Initially I was looking for something cheaper in the range of 50$ and was considering the samsung yepp 256...

Pros: Simple, attractive, convenient, straightforward

Cons: Uncomplicated (a con only to those who seek additional complication in their life)

The Bottom Line: For its target market (uncomplicated types like me), an ideal music device.

Review: As a Father's Day gift, my kids pooled their resources and got me an iPod Shuffle - the entry level 512 Mb model. After a week or so of use, you can color me convinced: this is a really cool personal music device.

Without explicitly...

Pros: Simple and straightforward design and controls, excellent sound quality, good iTunes integration

Cons: Simplicity/minimalism is definitely not for everyone

The Bottom Line: A refreshingly simple and easy to use player that's not for everyone.

Review:

The iPod Shuffle is the latest (and simplest) Apple audio player out there. Just getting today as a present and only having one CD on it so far, I'm not a veteran user; however, I doubt my opinion will change on it.

The most...

Pros: Small size

Cons: Horrible software, unreliable firmware, no support, total mess

Review: I had several problems with the iPod, mostly because of its horrible software iTunes. It messed up the firmware on the device several times, it would complain constantly that it is not up to date and then try to update it which resulted in several...

Pros: charges from USB. super small/light. good sound.

Cons: iTunes!!!! forget about "sharing" your mp3's. iTunes almost RUINS the whole expirience.

Review: if you want a CHEAP mp3 player along with a CHEAP power source ... the shuffle is great. If you want CONTROL over your mp3 collection, then the shuffle stinks.

With the Shuffle you are tied down to iTunes which is a piece of garbage. You...

Pros: Simplicity, Size, Price (for an entry Ipod)

Cons: Can't edit songs on multiple computers, USB transfer slow

The Bottom Line: Great entry iPod

Review: I've had the 512mb for a couple of weeks. So far, it works like a charm and is the best little gadget I've ever owned. The pictures don't give this thing much justice-it's much smaller than what I expected. My wife has a 10gig (3G) iPod and although...

Pros: Cool, hip, stylish

Cons: buggy, glitchy, unreliable

The Bottom Line: Don't be seduced by the hype and marketing: Buy a REAL MP3 player that works right more times than not

Review: I resisted the iPods, and iPod Minis ... but I HAD to have a iPod Shuffle. MP3 players aren't new, though with the recent popularity of the iPods you would think they were just invented.

I've been a portable MP3 player owner since 1997...

Pros: Small, Easy to Use, Cheap

Cons: Only holds about 120 songs, Adapter costs $30.

The Bottom Line: If you're looking for an inexpensive iPod to play at the gym or at work this is perfect. If you have the cash and a huge libary of songs don't.

Review: The Apple iPod Shuffle (512 MB) is a mini-iPod. About the size of a stick of gum and weighs less than that. There are two iPod shuffles out on the market currently: this one and the 1 GB one. The only difference being the amount of songs each one...

Pros: Compact, lightweight, easy to use, very rugged, LONG battery life

Cons: Graphic display would be nice, though it would increase size; headphones don't shield outside noise

The Bottom Line: Great for deployment. Won't hold your entire library, but it will go wherever Uncle Sam sends you and put up with just about anything you subject it to.

Review: I bought my iPod Shuffle during my deployment in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, and this review is written from the standpoint of how well this music player holds up downrange. Bottom line, it holds up very well.

Pros:

...

Pros: SOUNDS GREAT AND ITS VERY DURABLE

Cons: UNCOMFORTABLE HEADPHONES

The Bottom Line: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ITS EASE OF USE AND DURABILITY

Review: I use my ipod shuffle daily in the gym I love it,the only thing I changed was the headphones I cant seem to get the ones in comes with to stay put in my ears for some reason.
The ear piece has become a "status symbol" because it shows your...
