Advantages: Small and easy to use

Disadvantages: Not enough storage for some people

I do a lot of walking so find it quite boring. Sometimes it fells like it takes hours to get to my destination so when my hubby presented me with this mini ipod shuffle I was over the moon; I could dance and sing my way to my destination!!!

The shuffle is so tiny and cute and I would say it's about ¾ of the size of the palm of your hand. It comes with headphones that stick in your earlobes and you can buy it in various colours for around £30. On the front of the ipod are some buttons which consist of the volume, stop, play, pause and skip. On the underside is the 'shuffle' button and the 'off' button. There is no screen like the bigger Ipod's.

The thing I love about this Ipod is the fact that it's so simple to use. I am not very 'up' on the technology side of things so I find that this is right up my street. All I need to do is switch it on and if I want to move onto the next song then I can 'skip'.

The sound quality isn't amazing but from such a little device it is very good. I find that it plays very well but if you have it blasting then at certain points of a song it can get a bit 'fizzy'.

It store a maximum of around 15 albums which is just enough for me as I only listen to a few selected albums at a time. Obviously this could be a problem for someone who lies to have a blast at everything.

The only down sides for me regarding this Ipod is the fact that you have no way of getting to a particular song other than by using the skip button. If you have a fair few albums on the ipod then this can be a timely process.
The only other thing that bothers me is the fact that the earphones fall out of my sockets every now and again because they appear to be slightly too big for my ears.

Over all this is a great and affordable Ipod for those who aren't bothered about 'hitech' technology and who hasn't got an extensive amount of music that they want to listen to in one go. I would definately recommend it!
