New Apple iPod shuffle (2010) review

Apple 2GB iPod shuffle (fourth generation, late 2010) review

I'm on the record somewhere as saying that my favourite iPod of all time is the second-generation (2G) iPod shuffle . There was just something about that little guy, with its clip-on body and its circle of easy-to-navigate control buttons, that I found irresistible.
Pros:
  • On-device controls
  • VoiceOver navigation
  • long battery life
Cons:
  • Awkward to clip on clothing
  • no way to lock out controls from inadvertent bumps

Apple iPod Shuffle 4G

Review The iPod Shuffle's entire history is a testament to the fact that Apple doesn't always get products right. The fact it exists at all shows Steve Jobs was wrong to say that consumers don't really want low-cost, plug'n'go music players.

  • VoiceOver feature
  • ability to limit volume
  • Genius playlist support
Cons:
  • No screen
  • has to be managed from your computer
  • only 2GB

Apple iPod Shuffle (4G)

Many thought that Apple scored an own goal with the third-generation iPod Shuffle. Stripping it of controls made for a dinkier device, but forced owners to either stick with the supplied headphones (with an in-line remote) or pay extra for an remote adaptor.

Apple iPod Shuffle 4G

One year on from the harsh criticism that stung it after the physical buttons disappeared from the last version of the iPod Shuffle, Apple has brought them back.  We're not sure whether that's going to be enough
Pros:
  • The buttons are back
  • Small
Cons:
  • No screen
  • Mediocre sound quality
  • Dreadful headphones
