Great value, and great quality - shuffle me up baby!

I am a fan of convergent mobile devices (i.e. ones that include music players), but every now and then something comes along that is so bitingly simple that you just gotta use it. My iPod Shuffle get use every day without fail, and it’s uber-clever design means it is the only music device I’ll take in the gym.

Well know you can get Shuffle goodness in more colours – four of ‘em to be exact! As a short-usage (hour or less) music device, I don’t think it can be beaten – what say you?

If you want to check out the Apple iPod Shuffle colour variants (for the UK), check it out here.

About The Author

Ben Robinson

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.

    for the gym – grat. no display – who cares. i have 2 phones in my pockets and no more space for a big iPod. iPod Shuffle is the greatest player ever!

    I’ve had one for two years. I just wish it had repeat. Other than than, when I want to hear a specific song, I just turn off shuffle mode and click the forward button really fast until I find it. Yes, eventually you memorize the order of all your songs.

    Beh, I prefer the Creative Zen Stone. Cheaper, and has folder support so you can actually organize your songs.
