iPod shuffle: The First Music Player that Talks to You
The World's Smallest Music Player
To create the world's smallest music player, we moved the controls from iPod shuffle to the earphone cord. This makes iPod shuffle smaller than ever, and the controls are right where you can reach them. So when you want to play, pause, or skip to the next tune, you don't have to fumble for your iPod shuffle--just follow the cord and press a button.
The First Music Player that Talks to You
VoiceOver will surely be the next big hit on your iPod shuffle. Say you're listening to a song and want to know the title or the artist. Just press a button, and VoiceOver tells you. You can even hear the names of your playlists. And when your battery needs charging, VoiceOver tells you that, too.
Easy-Access Controls
The controls are located on the right earphone cord. With command central strategically placed in this more convenient location, you can navigate your music--and activate the VoiceOver feature--without taking your eyes off your run, your ride, or whatever you're doing. iPod shuffle includes these easy-access controls, but you can also use headphones with similar controls from manufacturers like Scosche, Klipsch, V-MODA, and Belkin.
Your Music Library ... to Go
iPod shuffle is now available in both 2 GB and 4 GB capacities. So you have plenty of room to store hours and hours of music--up to 1,000 songs with the 4 GB model.2 That's a load of essentials for your workout or commute. And there's room for multiple playlists and audiobooks, too.
Multiple Playlists
You've probably made multiple playlists in iTunes. One for your commute. One for the gym. One for just chilling out. Now you can sync playlists on your computer with iPod shuffle, and play the perfect mix for your activity or mood. VoiceOver tells you the name of each playlist, so it's easy to switch between them and find the one you want without looking.
Let's Talk Color
The anodized aluminum enclosure makes iPod shuffle sleek and durable. It's even more colorful in gleaming pink, blue, green, black, or silver. And making its debut: the special edition iPod shuffle in polished stainless steel (Talk about rock star treatment). Even the iPod shuffle clip rocks. It attaches securely to your shirt, jacket, workout gear, and backpack, making iPod shuffle the perfect fashion tech-cessory. And yes, there's still room for personalized engraving.
Multiple Languages
A French love song. A Spanish bolero. An Italian cantata. Your music library has songs from all over the world. That's why VoiceOver speaks 20 different languages. So it can tell you song titles and artists in the correct languages.
To Shuffle or Not to Shuffle
The shuffle switch has three positions. Flip it to the left, and you'll hear your music in a refreshingly random way. Flip it to the middle, and your songs play in order. Or flip to the right to turn iPod shuffle off.

I'm a big Apple fan, but I was very disappointed with this version of the shuffle. I have owned two previous versions and was very happy with them. I think most people use the shuffle during exercise, so I really only expect a few things from the device. Be light, easy to clip on, and most importantly it should be easy to manipulate the controls, and this is where the new version fails. Having the controls on the headset was a terrible choice. I went out for my first run, and knew I would be returning it after 5 minutes. The buttons are right about where your shoulder is. Reaching over and trying to push those little buttons was awkward. To advance songs you need to press it twice in the middle, I was constantly pausing the songs by accident. Plus you have to use the apple headset unless you purchase an adapter. Not sure what the designers were thinking with this one. I upgraded to the Nano.

I received it in a timely manner and it was in perfect condition that I could see

From reading other reviews, one might think this is Apple's worst product. Believe me, it isn't. It does have a couple design flaws, but it's not terrible.
I had read that the teensiest amount of water would screw up your headphone controls with no solution but to wrap it in plastic wrap and tape. This may be true, but I have experienced no such inconvenience. Of course, I don't exercise very much outside of gym class, a place where iPods are not allowed, so I haven't been able to see how sweat influences the controls, as others have. So, based on other reviews and my experience, this is a good product, but not so good for those who want to use it while exercising.
My only problem is that Apple's headphones have the controls built in, while the actual device has only the power button and headphone jack. This could be a huge problem if you lose or break your headphones. The only way to get a replacement would be to buy it directly from Apple or buy an Apple approved product, with both options being very expensive-- possibly more expensive than the iPod itself. The only thing I can really do as a broke 15 year old is hope that my headphone live a long and happy life.
Other than the headphone issue, this iPod works great, holds plenty of songs, and is functional. It may not work for those who exercise often, but it works just fine for my lifestyle.

Size:
I like the compactness, super light weight & can clip it onto clothes, accessories, etc. and wont feel it.
Usability:
I love the headphone controls. I am totally sold on this product!
Price:
Could have been cheaper compared to other similar products.

I do enjoy my little green Jolly Rancher while jogging. The only weird thing that has happened so far is that it apparently deleted a playlist all on its own and had to be re-iTuned. I would also recommend BudFits for comfort if you use your iPod during exercise.
