I got this ipod as a present in the christmas of 2010 but I already had some other ipods, and I never thought the shuffle was going to be for me, since I have loads of music that I just could not fit in this tiny ipod. However I started using it for jogging or when I want to save my mobile's battery and ever since then, I have not been able to stop using it.

The design I would say is the best!, I love how small it is. It is literally as thick as the earphone's jack. It is made out of a single piece of aluminium which makes it very sturdy, resistant and just very good looking. They come in different colours but for me the best is the one on the picture, the silver, and that one was precisely what I got. I have seen the other colours and I also like the yellow, which looks a bit golden too. I prefer the silver one since it looks more elegant, whereas the colour ones look a bit flashy in my opinion. Also something that makes the silver stand out is the fact that the wheel with the buttons to control the music is black, whereas the other have it white, something troublesome as this makes the dirt visible because it accumulates there when you handle it with dirty fingers. Furthermore, it features a very useful clip so that you can attach it to your clothes comfortably. This is great when you jog, as it is very safe and you can still handle the buttons quite easily.

The way the music is played is superb, it implements a really innovative mechanism to handle the playlists through a voice that tells you the name of them. It works the same way to tell you the battery level, and the name of each song. I think this was designed in order to get rid of the screen and make it even smaller. You turn it on sliding a three stages switch, that in the middle will play the music in the normal order, and if you slide it to the end, will play them randomly.

It is a great device and you will love it, even just holding it, you won't be able to stop playing with it and feeling its perfect design. A downside I would say is the capacity because with only two GB it is really difficult to decide what playlists to put in it.
