Abstract: Click to enlarge Apple’s newest iPod was announced this week with almost no forewarning and immediately sparked some controversy. The 4GB iPod shuffle, the third generation of the product, removes even more from a device that people have typically seen...
Abstract: The latest iPod Shuffle to come out of Cupertino has a big hill to climb and, so far, things aren’t looking great. Any which way you look at it, this is a dud, but a magnificent one all the same. For starters, the price to storage ratio is skewed in t...
Apple’s smallest, lightest iPod yet, and first iPod shuffle with remote control functionality. Offers modestly better transfer speeds and audio quality than prior shuffle, replaces prior dock with simpler USB sync and charge cable. Adds VoiceOver fe...
Needlessly and seriously complicates controls by switching to a buttonless body, which cannot be controlled without Apple headphones or not-yet-manufactured third-party proprietary remote control solutions; presently next to useless with car or home s
A Note From the Editors of iLounge: Though all products and services reviewed by iLounge are "final," many companies now make changes to their offerings after publication of our reviews, which may or may not be reflected above. This iLounge article pro...
Thumb drive sized. Can double as a tie clip. Battery life lasts for 12 freaking hours. Short USB sync cord is teh sexiness. Yes, well admit, its another beautifully designed piece of hardware from Apple.
Proprietary headphones are required. Control set awkward and hard to use. The thing could be easily mistaken for a thumb drive or a tie clip for that matter.

The third-generation Apple iPod Shuffle is as light as a feather and as small as a paper clip, and it includes VoiceOver cues, and improved support for podcasts and audiobooks.
You need to operate the Shuffle using a pill-size remote control on your headphones, battery life isnt great, features are few, and the design is a bit boring.
The third-generation iPod Shuffle is the next best thing to an invisible MP3 player, but the quirky controls and microscopic design make it a limited recommendation.
Abstract: In these days of economic distress, it’s nice when technology companies add innovative features to the products at the bottom of their price ranges. So it’s notable that Apple’s cheapest iPod, the oft-forgotten Shuffle model, is getting smarter. In fac...
Abstract: Zero buttons. That's as minimalist as it gets. Removing all buttons—or to clarify, moving them to the headset—shrinks down the size of the new iPod Shuffle dramatically, but it also creates control problems when running, snowboarding or do...
Abstract: Apples tiniest iPod has had the tiniest of upgrades with the addition of new colour choices. Its still a seriously limited player that we cant really recommend unless you utterly must have something "iPod branded".While the Nanos had a grab-bag of...
