Sure, a Shuffle with a screen is COOL- just not cool enough to justify the $140 (as I found out).I do want to dig ya Super Shuffle, but the pricing/value-for-money is your Kryptonite.

Size: It is a glorified shuffle

My only complaint is with Apple by calling this a iPod nano, as others have said this is more of a "super" shuffle, I think they should have kept the video playing nano available and just added this under a different name

side-by-side?Still others might say the Super Shuffle is inadequate even for the gym

But to use all VO features requires the Apple Earphones With Remote & Mic, which aren't included (Apple either wants another $30, or still hasn't solved the sweat/moisture issues those 'phones have had in the past).So, some caveats aside, the Nano/SS now works fine in its role as a 'gym' Shuffle with a screen

Someone else referred to the latest nano as a sort of super shuffle.

The Shuffle is a better value for the money, but if you like a few more bells and whistles

If you want an expensive Shuffle with a screen this is a good product.

I found the touchscreen no easier to use than the original clickwheel, and the clip reminiscents of the cheap and disposable shuffle

With that and a $99 price point, the Super Shuffle would be an out-of-the-ballpark home run

The new Nano, aka Super Shuffle, is focused on a different task entirely, and much the same one as the regular Shuffle- the gym

bought the Nano after trying the ipod shuffle.. the shuffle failed in all areas but the nano is better than I thought it would be, easy to use.. the only thing I had to was to replace earphones, they worked ok but just didn't stay in my ears

I bought my super shuffle off a buddy of mine because he needed the extra cash, and I figured I would be able to use it while working out

new Nano/Pico, as well as the shuffle, are small enough to easily get lost.

So MY BEEF with the Super Shuffle (aside from battery life) isn't that it killed the 'true' Nano (enough demand = they'll bring it back), but rather the level of 'milking it

like my shuffle

A glorified Shuffle with a touch screen

An earlier review called this a Super Shuffle, and in many ways it's an apt description.

I enjoyed the shuffle for its size and simplicity.

Some will wonder why this was an 'either/or' thing for Apple, i.e. couldn't the Super Shuffle and 'true Nano' have

A 4GB model for $99 would've made sense, as that's about what a 'Super Shuffle' is really worth

after I cancled the service, it is just an itouch with a phone on it, then I stole my husbands shuffle because the iphone/touch was too large for me at the gym

As many have said, its just a glorified shuffle

The Super Shuffle has physical volume buttons

However, it ads immeasurably to the lowly shuffle.

I still prefer my Shuffle for around the pool and on my motorcycle since the click wheel works by touch rather than sight.

It would be about as easy to buy a shuffle and shake it until it randomly selected the song you want

I use this device for running and it is far inferior to the old, cheaper shuffle for the following reasons:1

However, for biking or weightlifting, I still prefer the Shuffle to easily play/pause, skip tracks, and adjust volume.
