The iPod Shuffle, anybody who knows what it is already knows exactly what it’s capable of doing and there’s not really a whole lot of guesswork to be made about its quality. It’s basically a one-trick pony (English saying I picked up), it’s going to be hit-or-miss for just about everyone. Some people will love it for its price and simplicity while others will hate it because it doesn’t exactly offer many options (or a screen)

Obviously, the iPod shuffle is a very simple device. Its entire purpose is to play whatever tunes it stores in random order. It currently comes in two models, a 512MB for $149 and a 1GB version for $299. I can help but wonder why they made these models but you can probably assume that there will be a 2GB or 4GB version somewhere down the line, can anyone confirm this?

The main reason for me to choose an iPod shuffle is there’s no internal hard drive of any sort. This makes the device very small and very light. As well, it means that there’s no skipping of songs making it great for when I’m running home from work across the Harbour Bridge most afternoons.

My research has found there are a few downsides; the battery life of 12hours is pathetic, slow transfer speeds, no FM tuner or an LCD screen but what do you expect for the price!

Downloaded Xavier Rudd’s second album Solace …….. He’s a multi-instrumentalist with a unique and harmonious combination of lyrics, vocals, instruments and energy that is warm and powerful. With this, his second album, as with previous releases every track is recorded live in the studio, allowing SOLACE to capture the emotion and energy of Xavier’s live performances. If you like The John Butler Trio, you’ll love this.
