Apple iPod Shuffle (2nd generation, 1GB): Compare prices

By Jasmine France on 06/11/2006

More Apple reviews , RRP: AU$65.00

The good:

  • Dead-simple user interface with satisfying tactile controls
  • Integrated belt clip provides a handy way to keep track of the player
  • Package includes a cute little syncing cradle

The bad:

  • No screen, so there's no way to navigate easily among artists, albums, or playlists
  • Might be too small for some users
  • Nonstandard USB syncing takes away from its plug-and-go appeal

The bottomline:

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.
