This is a great base mp3 player at a very affordable price.

This is the right size for the right price.

The price is excellent for what you get, which is both surprising and pleasing given that it is sold by Apple

Either way, the Shuffle is a great product at a great price point

I think it was an ingenious move of Apple to create an IPod that doesn't cost so much money, so that "average Joe's" could afford a nice machine at an affordable price.

The price is extremely decent if you're not looking to spend $300 on an MP3

Lots of memory for an affordable price (remember those 128MB players for same price last year?)3

We shopped around for the best price and Amazon beats everyone by $5.00

The unit is incredibly easy to load up (just plug into the USB port of your computer -- also charges here) and Itunes software is a cinch to use to import music from CDs (or purchase music files from Apple).Given the price, it is (by the standards of Ipods) a good deal as a way of getting great sounding music in a small unit.

If you're new to the MP3 player world, I would recommend the Shuffle as a starter, the price is right, and there is still lots of room for music.

It allows an incredibly small and light player at a great price.

Pros:Good price for flash MP3 playerSlick lookingCons

Breaking news: The price on this recently dropped from $149 to $129.

The only positive I see with using iTunes is that its interface is nice, and it runs fast.

I LOVE my i-POD!!!
