Apple - iPod Shuffle Second Gen. (1 GB) MP3 Player Review

The second generation iPod shuffle is a great "tool" for people who are usually in a rush/very active. I run almost every day and my shuffle is perfectly suited for the treadmill or the concrete paths.

I love that it works with my already-established iTunes system, is very compact since weight and space are issues when running, and has only the bare necessities. I commute quite often and like the freedom of letting my machine do its thing...it's like the hands-free bluetooth headset of iPods!

 I would recommend you invest in a protective case to hold the shuffle and earbuds as it can get pretty beat up lying around in a bookbag, purse, or desk drawer. Also, the earbuds cord is kind of short. I was able to invest in a new set of earbuds for $10 from accessorygeeks.com. They are made by Luxmo and are holding up better than the overpriced Apple earbuds.

 Happy shuffling!
