Do the iPod Shuffle..

July 13th, 2005 by Markus Langenfeld

So I picked up one of These this week.. Before I bought the shuffle I read a bunch of reviews on it. I think This Guy sums it up best. “I find it incredibly amusing that Apple’s marketing department has successfully compensated for the fact that the device doesn’t have a display for navigating your music and folders by making a standard feature on all music devices the key selling point of the music player. “Life is random” Honestly, only Apple could get away with it. Which they have and I feel good about it. They should have classes at major institutions which do nothing but study Apple marketing.” When I bought the Shuffle There was a real nice Samsung Mp3 player for the same price sitting right next to it. It had the same amount of space, a nice display, and a ton of additional features including a FM tuner, voice recorder, the works. But I picked the Shuffle over it because I knew I would be happier when I’m wanting to get out the door to work and I need to load my Mp3 player down with music at the last second and I don’t want to deal with all the extra hassle. whoever complains that the shuffle is junk because it doesn’t have a battery hogging display, or all of these features that no one ever uses, doesn’t understand the point apple is trying to push. IMO the shuffle is the best small MP3 player on the market and I couldn’t be happier owning one.

    So far, I love it.. but I eneded up swaping it for another 2 days after I bought it becuase the headphones gave out… so I don’t know about the included ear buds.
