Funniest thing I've heard in ages.
This iPod shuffle is definitely the best iPod I've ever used.
What's great about it:
- The buttons have been beautifully designed and manufactured. Very easy to press (but at the same time the buttons don't get pressed accidently in my pocket - as was the case with the 3G iPod - so I never have to worry about using "Hold" mode at all) and very intuitive.
I can use the iPod shuffle without even having to take it out of my pocket (e.g. when I want to go back a song) - moreso than with any other iPod I've ever used. - It's ridiculously light. When I do want to take it out of my pocket, I can just pull it out by tugging the earphone wire.
- The battery life is great. It hasn't it run out on me before the end of the day yet.
What I think could be added/improved:
- Separate playlists
- The time gap for fast forwarding/rewinding is way too short - makes scrubbing through an audiobook a bit painful
- Ability to automatically repeat a single song
- Add a cap that allows you to attach the iPod shuffle to your keyring (I do this now, via cutting the lanyard and threading a string, but this solution is a little clunky. I'd prefer some kind of metal ring).
- The fit of the iPod shuffle to my USB1.1 ports is a little off - it doesn't charge unless I use a USB extension cord (that I luckily just happened to have).
