Advantages: Easy to use, good sound quality

Disadvantages: simple features

I had been contemplating purchasing an ipod for quite some time but never seemed to get round to it. As i have a nokia n95 i never really saw the point in having an mp3 player as i'd just use my phone - that was until my battery started to die on the bus journey home! I purchased the ipod shuffle as I thought if i want to watch videos then i'll always have my phone. It is quite pricey compared to other mp3 players on the market, I had previously used cheaper brands but didn't really think much of them. The ipod shuffle is definatly one of the best for its price and features. You can turn the shuffle off so you can play the tracks you set in order. The sound quality is absolutely brilliant, for such as small piece of equipment is certainly does the job and more! Syncs well with my laptop and iTunes, first time i'd ever used iTunes and found it quite easy and simple to use. Another recommendation for this would be to purchase for the younger generation, its easy to connect to you computer or laptop and holds a good amount of mp3s. The headphones that come with the shuffle are also really good, high quality in sound, appearance and durability and don't slop out of your ears like some of the cheaper versions. I've also used mine at the gym and not had to keep stopping to replace the ear piece in my ear. The battery life seems to be quite long, I use mine for approx 1 1/2 hours per day and have onlyhad to charge it once/twice a week for a couple of hours at a time. Once it did run out, i charged it for 15mins in the morning whilst getting ready for work and it lasted for both bus journeys so you know its going to last after a quick charge! A definate purchase in my opinion!
