In this review I want to avoid talking mainly about the exterior features as it is simple enough for anyone for figure out. The controls include a rewind/last song button, forward/next song button, volume up button, volume down button, power switch, shuffle switch, and two status lights (bottom and top). Most of the controls are self-explanatory but I will go through some of them. The power switch allows you to reset, turn-on, or turn off your iPod shuffle and the shuffle switch allows random songs to be played without manually switching songs.
The 1 GB iPod Shuffle can hold approximately 250 songs. You can use all of the free space on the shuffle. Many other devices often slow down if too much of the memory is used, but not the iPod Shuffle. Simply add songs from your iTunes software to the iPod Shuffle and you're good to go.
Apple created the iPod Shuffle to allow users/people a simple way to listen to songs. Instead of a multi-purpose device that can browse the internet, stream videos, downloads files, etc., the iPod Shuffle just plays songs when your headphones are connected. In my opinion, I wished that the iPod Shuffle should have a small speaker so other friends can see the songs you have.
Overall, the iPod Shuffle is a great and extremely simple song device that doesn't need to load, crash, or have a virus.
