Apple iPod shuffle (3G) 4 GB

Before I upgraded to 4th generation iPod Nano, I had this Apple iPod Shuffle 3rd generation. The Design Apple boasts that this 3rd generation iPod Shuffle is the world's smallest MP3 player. Upon looking at it for the first time, I didn't have the nerve to argue. It is really the tiniest music player that I have ever seen. It is very lightweight and handy and weighs only 11 grams. I just hold it between my thumb and my forefinger. This tiny music player measures 1.8 cm in width, 0.8 cm in depth and 4.5 cm in height. Its plain and metallic design is very simple. It has no screen and no click wheel which are present in other ...  Read the complete review

The iPod Shuffle is Apple's smallest and simplest MP3 player. It may seem limited without a screen or physical buttons but the features that have been thrown in definitely make it great value for money. The iPod shuffle's now come in 5 colours; silver, black, baby blue, lime green and pink. There's also a special polished stainless steel version but it's not worth the extra £16 in my opinion. I have the black version which isn't really black, it has more of a dark gun metal grey look which is cool. The new iPod Shuffle's are extremely small, about the size of a thumb. It's a great size for exercising with but is so small that I often worry about ...  Read the complete review

I recently bought this product for my husband's birthday from Argos for £59. Cat. No. 513/9392. I was very impressed by how small it was considering it holds 1000 songs. The i pod is silver and measures 4.52cm high, 1.75cm wide and 0.78 cm depth and weighs 10.7g. It is very samooth and sleek and can be attached to clothes, with a built - in stainless steel clip that has the apple logo on it. Once charged the battery life is an amazing 10 hours. On the top of the iPod is one button that can be moved from off, to play in order, to shuffle (each time it is moved a voice tells you what you have selected), a status light and an earphone port.

I bought the shuffle recently and have found it an all round good purchase, The sound quality certainly punches above its weight and the battery life lasts for anything up to four days on a single charge that couple with its size means it is very portable and extremely user friendly. The new ability to set up and hear what playlists you are playing is very convenient. I do have a couple of niggles regarding the controller featured on the headphones. Despite being very usefully placed and putting an end to poking around in your pocket to skip that troublesome Van Halen song your girlfriend put on your list, i found myself accidentally stopping and ...  Read the complete review

The iPod family only exists as execs at Apple thought that their mp3 players were awful. Pre iPod, the majority of mp3 players were similar in design to the shuffle, little or no display, cumbersome track selection and small capacity. So why in 2009 have the company that changed all that arrived at the marketplace with a 3rd generation of tiny screenless low capacity digital music player? Apple have stayed with their modern business plan of taking an existing product type and doing it better than everybody else, but why bring out a product that's the 4th best of their own range? I can only assume that it's to grab one little slice of the market. For ...  Read the complete review
