The new apple ipod shuffle is the complete embodiment of simplicity and power. It is the ideal companion for a jog or on when commuting. With no screen and hence almost no control over the navigation options, one might think that this device is maybe not its money’s worth. But this is definitely not the case. The Shuffle has a 1 GB memory and can hold up to 240 tracks. It is a contender for being the smallest phone in the market as it measures at 1.6X1.0X0.4 inches and weighs just 0.6 ounces- and its size is one of its strengths. Besides the classic grey, it is available in the flash pink, orange green and blue as well. The highlight of the shuffle is its sturdiness and tolerance to abuse. It comes with a belt clip which helps you keep it near to your body. There are three LED lights- blue, orange and green- that display the status of the player. How do you navigate the apple ipod shuffle? The buttons as well as the controls are fairly logical and hence extremely user-friendly. There is an ample-sized five-way control panel on its face with the play/pause button in the center. Then there is the volume up/down and the track shifting keys. Although there is no way to navigate among artists, genres etc., the buttons are fast enough to skip through playlists. On the bottom, there is the power button and the toggle on/off button. The hold button, however, is conspicuously missing. On the top is the headphone jack of a standard size which also acts for USB syncing as well. To get the most out of your apple ipod shuffle, be sure to download the latest version of iTunes (version 7). The auto fill option transfers songs from your computer to the shuffle automatically up to the point that the memory is filled. It supports virtually all formats including Mp3, WAV, AIFF and protected/un-protected AAC files. As far as the ipod accessories are concerned, the shuffle now comes bundled with the new and improved Apple headphones instead of the previous old model. In case you don’t like the performance of the headphones, you can always plug in your favorite ones as the dock is standard. The most stylish thing about this minimalist device is that it comes with a cool cradle which is used to charge as well as transfer songs to and from the iPod. It offers a pretty decent battery time and a complete charge last for about 12-15 hours of continuous play time. The sleek form factor, excellent sound quality and the simplistic design and user interface make the shuffle the optimal combination of power and usability.
