Unmatched, best-in-class

The iPod Shuffle is in my opinion the best choice in its category (and I've tried several, large or small marks). It is so simple that you wonder why the competitors imitate bad. This is probably a question of approach. Everything is designed in the iPod, there is no excuse. It starts with the packaging: no need to fight with plastic or use more or less blunt tools to unpack the drive. The iPod is easily accessible, it releases it from its holder without violence and without scratching their brains. The instructions fit on a piece of paper and more than enough to understand everything.

The product has the same qualities as its predecessor. Smaller but it requires greater dexterity to hang clothing with the clip. But it's done quickly. The controls are simple but effective. Note that the descriptive, although small are sufficiently contrasted to be read from the first glance. In addition, when you press a button the player behaves as hoped (another difference with competitor models).

Podcasts are organized by shows, each issue constitutes a playlist (playlist). To move from one issue to another, you must press the button for voice over 2 sec. The voice scrolls issuing titles and simply press play when you hear the name of the selected program. With the previous version, all titles were played back one after another in no particular order.

In short, I am totally satisfied without any reservations. Today more than ever this is my favorite in the category of mini MP3 players. If we could get rid of iTunes to sync songs, it would be even better.
