Reviewed by Oswald Puck (2012-01-08)  Purchased as a gift, but I knew it’s good that I wouldn’t be embarrassed This is a nice gift item under $50. In fact, I was able to give an iPod shuffle three times to three different persons and I haven’t been embarrassed to give it to them because I knew they would like it. Who wouldn’t want an iPod? Some people may not prefer an Apple product because it is expensive. I think it is expensive, but you get what you pay for. If you received it as gift, wouldn’t you want it?
Also, don’t worry about the iPod shuffle not being appreciated or used by the person you going to give it to. I gifted it to my grandmother who you’d think would have trouble using it. I loaded it with audio books that she likes and some tunes and she was cool with it.
Aside from being easy to use, the iPod shuffle is also small, convenient to carry, and very dependable to use. It’s got long battery life that you could use it throughout the week and just charge once a week on a weekend. The clip-and-go is nice, too, and perfect for carrying around. |

Reviewed by Mary Anne Garnett (2011-12-20) iPod shuffle 2GB: Works as advertised. Very easy to use and set up. I know my way around a computer, but one doesn’t have a techie to get started on the iPod shuffle. I think that’s the whole idea why Apple is one of those companies that put little thought on their product manuals. The iPod shuffle’s manual is written on a very tiny piece of paper that is folded to fit the box. I didn’t pay any attention to it not only because it is small but more so because it is unnecessary. I got my iTunes and ready and transferred songs to the shuffle. And that was it. It was ready to rock my tunes! It works as good and easy as it is claimed to be.
One thing of note, though. The 2GB is very small. It can fit 300 music tops. If you have a big media library, you might think twice about the shuffle and get a nano instead. The iPod nano is more expensive than the shuffle, though. However, if you need enough songs just for your commute and you can afford to sync every now and then, 2GB would be cool. |

Reviewed by Rush Baldwin (2011-12-14) iPod shuffle 2GB Silver (4th Generation) Portable and simple to use, it is a must-have if you want access to your music wherever you go. I mean, really wherever you go. The small for factor of the iPod shuffle and its clip-and-go design allows it to be carried around inconspicuously.
I use it on my commutes, I use it on my evening walks with the dog, and even when I wash the car. It’s nice. Only downside is, it’s got a measly 2GB capacity. The music, some 200 or so that can be copied, gets to be repeated after a while. At such point I feel the need to copy different songs because it gets tiresome. If you need more music, I guess you’re better off with the 8GB nano or iPod touch.
Additionally, I must say that Apple did a good job designing the buttons on the iPod shuffle. They’re firm and crisp, and do not easily get pushed in your pocket or wherever you put the shuffle.
You would think that with the shift of focus to touchscreens, the buttons would get eliminated, but it is here in the shuffle to stay. It is easier to control because you do not need to open a screen before you can control the iPod. In this regard the buttons make more sense. |
