Mini Music: Apple's iPod Shuffle

The iPod Shuffle is the tiniest version of Apple's popular digital music player. It holds 240 songs but has no screen to view or manipulate files. Using your computer, you load the player with songs, and instead of picking and choosing songs with a complicated interface, the screen-less Shuffle simply plays songs in a random fashion, so you'll never know what's coming up next. (Of course, for the not-quite-so-bold, you can choose to play your songs in order.)

It's insanely small; it weighs half an ounce and fits into a matchbox. The battery on the Shuffle is fantastic; it's rated at 12 hours per charge. My only complaint is that I've misplaced this miniscule player on several occasions!

For $79, the iPod is great for walks and workouts, and it's so small you can store it, carry it, or clip it anywhere to take with you. Want to see just how tiny this player is? Be sure to check out our up-close video review.
