Good Points

Good memory. Battery life is brilliant. So small and light.

Bad Points

Doesn't always start playing when I press play, or is it me?

General Comments

I bought the Apple iPod Shuffle after entering 324 crisp packets on the Walkers website to win an iPod!! No luck? Did anyone get one?
My nephew got bought an MP3 player at about the same time, his had 128MB on it. The iPod had 240 songs on it within half an hour of getting it out of the box, and it has never played the same song twice. As ever there will be MP3 players out with 10 times the memory, but I mean, how much music do you want? Surely this is enough for a 2 week holiday at least?
It's great if you have a mac, and you are into iTunes. or if you want a player that is simple. It is well recommended. It works with PC's too, but iTunes only really works on XP. This iPod can also be used as a portable drive so you can put more than music on it. You can put all your Word files on, which is great if you're a student and don't want to carry too much around; you can bring your files and some music home to your home PC for example. You can put photo's on it too. The headphones hurt my ears after a bit, but that's me.
