  Shuffle = Slick and Snazzy... but not my favorite.

When the iPod Shuffle arrived, it was Apple’s response to the wave of flash MP3 players taking a share of the market – the iPod of course was a bigger success than anyone could have imagined, but it was still too large and bulky for the active user (someone wanting to take it on a jog, use it while spinning, etc). The Shuffle was supposed to be Apple’s claim on this segment of the market – light, portable and durable MP3 players that value portability over functionality.

The trouble however is that the Shuffle compromises too much on functionality – personally, I don’t get very excited about an MP3 player:

1) without an LCD screen
2) without playlist capability
3) that requires the use of a rope around your neck
4) an armband (essential) for athletic use costs an extra ~$30

This doesn’t bother many people – and if it doesn’t bother you, than the Shuffle is a great choice. Personally, I think the design of the Shuffle is super cool and typical Apple. However, in terms of portable flash players, my prefence is the Rio Forge series and there are lines of plenty of other alternatives. All cost less and, in my opinion, are better values.

While my clear preference for these kind of MP3 players is not the Shuffle – I can’t help but leave positive reviews for its sleek, different and sexy design – which certainly is enough of a selling point for many consumers.

My advice – think about what features and functions you want in an MP3 player before buying.

I got an iPod Shuffle as a present and have totally loved it. There are few companies that can provide unique product design combined with ease of use and functionality.

Sound quality on the Shuffle is great, and comes with a comfortable set of headphones which provide decent sound quality.

The Shuffle is very durable, extremely light, and there are a huge array of accessories from holders to arm band thingies.

So what's not to like? Well... despite as cool as it looks, functionality wise it's pretty limited. I recently bought my wife a Sandisc player because it had some features the Shuffle doesn't. Namely:

- Display
- Microphone/Record
- More capacity
- Replaceable Battery

When your Shuffle's battery eventually dies you have to mail it to Apple to have it fixed, which is inconvenient. The other thing about iPod's in general is that the iPod format isn't the most optimal for space; other devices that are Windows Media based can hold more songs.

But all in all, not bad. The Shuffle is more than just a player, but is also a fashion piece.

  Incredible music machine
Review created: 10/11/08

Being a non-techer and not having all the latest technoloy on the market, I was urged by a friend to purchase the shuffle. I love it, this is easy to use, easy to download and so small it is very portable. I like that there is nothing special needed to charge it, you just plug it in to your computer. The ease of adding songs to this is amazing. All in all this is an easy to use and great item that I would highly recommend to anyone, even those of you like me who are not always up on the latest technology. A greay item!

  FREE iPod Touch
Review created: 09/19/08
by:

Get a free iPod Touch!!! Have a look at this video first:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFKYVE__Mug

I know that YOU do not want to spend YOUR MONEY on this expensive product. Please just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It literally takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I promise you, this is 100% real. I wouldn't jeopardize my eBay account status if this was a scam. My feedback is real and I will answer you on any question! Here is what you do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do).This is not like other sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3 different pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with nothing else to buy...No commitments!!!

There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster online, Stamp. com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use them to get a free iPod or cash (I did the Stamps. com for a 4 week free trial and it is free!). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you. After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 5-13 people (depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link (just post the same thing as I have on eBay, and you'll get your referrals before the auction even ends.
)

Then they will ship your free iPod Touch or your selected item for free, I chose the iPod Touch. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all the referrals. All you have to do is post it on EBAY or any message boards, blogs, face book, my space or any place you hang out at. ! They use us as advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your own personal link after your orders placed.



Step 1: Copy and paste this link: http://www.YourFreeVideoiPods.com/index.php?ref=5404326

Step 2: Sign up and chose an account type (Referral is the easiest and best).

Step 3: Complete just 1 offer (like Blockbuster or Stamps. com) and refer up to 13 people to do the same (use eBay! Do what I did, copy my ad).


Step 4: Receive your iPod Touch or Other Electronics for FREE!!!!!!!!!! (Even The Shipping Is Free!!!)

Please take advantage of this offer!!!

Check It out NOW! Copy and paste this link http://www.YourFreeVideoiPods.com/index.php?ref=5404326

  Want something better than this for free?
Review created: 09/17/08

There are two ways to get an Ipod Touch, spending money, or spending time. Have a look at this if you're not sure about it :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFKYVE__Mug

I've already got 2 Ipod Touch 8gb from Trainn (the enterprise behind this) last year and I'm getting another one. I won't lie here, I need you to get it, but please read. If you want yours, just follow the instructions I give you, it takes a little bit of your time but if all goes well you should get your own

Ipod within a few months. This may seem longer than actually getting the money to buy one but that's money you save and if you're like me and don't have money to spend for those expensive things, you might want to do it this way.

To make it clear, you register through the link I give you, you choose refferal account type and you complete an offer. Don't worry, the offer you're completing is for you and for me, you'll only need to do one offer.

Most of the offer sites are "commitment" which will let you try a service for a few days than charge you each month. That's how they make money. All you have to do is be aware and remember to cancel the thing before they charge you. But if you don't like having to pay attention that much, you can just do a one time pay for offers like Care Bears products for 10$. Yeah you pay 10$ and you get an Ipod Touch, that may not be free but don't you think 10$ is cheap?

And if you don't like Care Bears that much, you can send them back their crap and they'll refund you.

After that, the hardest part for you to get your Ipod. Refferals... You'll need to get 5 to 8 people to complete an offer like you just like you did. Talk to friends (if you have some) or do as me (it doesn't mean I have no friends).

It's not that hard and it's pretty useful if you don't have the money to buy one.

So please register with this link and complete an offer.

http://www.YouriPodTouch4free.com/index.php?ref=4632625

And if you still have a hard time believing me. Just search for "Trainn Proof" on google. Trainn is the name of the enterprise letting you have free stuff. I'm not some lame spam bot or anything, I'm a real person and I have bought things here on ebay, just look at my feedbacks. If you have any question just message me here or on my e-mail tomatoshadow@hotmail.com . If you want to see the photos I took of the Ipod Touchs I got last year go there : http://s128.photobucket.com/albums/p166/tomatoshadow/Free%20Ipod/
Anyways, thanks for your time!

I bought the iPod for my 8 yr old daughter. It is the perfect size for her. She loves it, and also thinks that she is Hot Stuff b/c she has this little device that she can walk around with and play her favorite songs.

I have one also and really enjoy it as well.

  IPOD 1st gen.review
Review created: 09/07/08
by:

What I like about this IPOD is it is easy, simple and a wonderful item for someone who wants to have one but not into the latest tech stuff. Though a Shuffle is cute and small this item seems more user friendly for your "older" listener who may not have the dexterity in their hands/fingers. There are more accessories to help with the daily handling/usage. recommend highly as a first for the very young,non-tech savvy, the older.

  Ipod--doesn't charge
Review created: 09/01/08
by:

The ipod that I won took almost a month for the seller to ship. After repeated messages to her it finally arrived, loose in the box. It was shipped very poorly. Now it will not charge and we cannot load music. I am attempting to get a refund. A horrible experience with this seller!

Well I bought a back-up ipod shuffle, for when mine breaks, I love it so much that I don't want to be without one, although I take care of mine and I don't think it'll ever break, I know better, accidents happen and when it does, I want one now! So I bought a new and never opened ipod shuffle first gen. 512 MB, it's even enough storage, I mean I won't need more than 80 songs, and if I need newer ones, then I just erase them all or some, and add whichever ones I want, super small and long lasting, I couldn't ask for more, I use it about an hour a day at most, if I used it more then maybe I'd want a newer version which held more songs, but for what I use it for it's perfect! My first one I bought used, for ten dollars and four cents, (that was including the shipping), what an excellent deal! My new back-up cost a bit more, but I am willing to pay a bit for added extra security for when I need it!
Never owned one? What are you waiting for? Get it now!
Dirk~

This is a simple, easy to use MP3 player that is reasonably priced. It's great for young kids or people like me who like to listen to music, but don't have to have all the bells and whistles. It's a great buy!

  I Pod Bought
Review created: 07/02/08

I got a great deal on my I Pod.. I washed my other one in the washer and ruined it. This one was cheaper than the one I bought off of ebay last time.
My new I pod came just in time when I really needed it. This was packaged good and it was new with ear pads, Something I didn't get the last time I bought the same item on ebay. Get service and the owner of the item let me know when it was shipped. Nice Communication.

I bought the Apple iPod shuffle First Gen five days ago and was immediately impressed with the number of features available on this inexpensive Apple iPod shuffle First Gen. It has a nice look to it. The Apple iPod shuffle First Gen's size is perfect for carrying in a pocket and the battery has a pretty good lifespan of roughly 12 hours. I have no complaint. Other MP3 players I've owned have simpler menus and get you to important features easily. Overall, I'd recommend the Apple iPod shuffle First Gen if you're on a budget.

That's all there is except that I keep getting contacted by ebay to write a review so here it is.

  Fun and affordable!
Review created: 06/04/08

WHat I love about this little Ipod Shuffle is it's lower cost and the good Apple quality I expected. It doesn't play alot of songs, but it's enough for a morning walk or jog in the park. The sound is good and the Ipod Shuffle is small enough to fit into your pocket. This was my first Ipod and I found it very easy to use.
The only thing bad thing is that it holds so few songs or audiobooks and podcasts. However, it's low price and ease of use make it great for a teen, or as a first Ipod.
