| Conclusion  You probably knew whether or not you wanted the Shuffle before reading this. It is what it is: a clip that shuffles through your music. Good for exercising? Yes. Good for a party? Yes. Good for a $50 media player? Maybe. Really, while the Shuffle is small, well laid-out and functional, it's somewhat gimmicky. There are plenty of cheap media players that are slightly bigger and have a software interface akin to the first Generation iPod. When you buy the Shuffle, you're buying portability, a certain look, and blissful ignorance. This decision really comes down to personal preference, and might even hinge on the individual's dislike of iTunes or the iPod brand. In terms of what you get for the money, the Shuffle isn't great. We do think its price point isn't far off the mark, however, especially if you view the lack of an interface as a bonus. |
