Clip on. Rock out! iPod shuffle is the most wearable, portable iPod ever.

Put a little music on. Then take off.It?s easy to wear, easy to use, and remarkably small - which makes a huge difference at the gym, on a run, or on the go.

Clip.
Thanks to a built-in clip, iPod shuffle goes with anything. Clip it to your sleeve, your running shorts, or your jacket. No matter where you wear it, iPod shuffle speaks volumes about your style.

Controls.
iPod shuffle pays respect to its bigger siblings with a circular control pad that puts the "go" in ergonomic. Click the center button to play and pause. Click the outer buttons to move back, skip forward, and adjust the volume. iPod shuffle is so easy to use, you can control it with one hand - even without looking.

Battery indicator.
Green means go, amber means you?re low, and red means you?ve almost hit zero. But with up to 12 hours of battery life, iPod shuffle may keep rocking even longer than you do.

Shuffle switch.
Whatever happens, happens. Mix up your music with a flip of the shuffle switch. Flip it again to play your handpicked playlists, workout mixes, and albums in the order you synced them with iTunes.

Dock connector.
iPod shuffle comes with a dock that makes it easy to connect to your Mac or PC for a quick charge or sync. Add a playlist or let iTunes autofill your iPod shuffle with songs chosen randomly from your music library. You?ll always be surprised by what it picks.

OK - Convoluted Setup, No Display

"I received my shuffle for Christmas, and though I was already happy with my Sansa Fuze, I thought I'd give the tiny unit a try. While the look and size of the product is nice, I was completely put off being forced to download and use iTunes to get anything loaded. When I did, iTunes required my personal information before I could use it. In short, you can't use the iPod until you give Apple your personal informa..." Read Full Review »

"I use this as a secondary mp3 player. I have an iPhone and used to have an iPod, but found my bigger iPods too bulky for working out. It is great for the gym, because you just clip it to your clothes and forget about it. I only load my workout songs on it, and not my entire library, so that I only h …"  Read Full Review »
