they (Apple) are now officially straddling the fine line between brilliance and bullsh*t (LiveDigitally)Livedigitally has an interesting review of the iPod Shuffle, here's a short selection:
“The iPod shuffle is basically just 512mb or 1gb of flash memory in a very nice iPodesque enclosure. Here's what it is not. It is not an iPod. At least not in the ways we traditionally identify an iPod (i.e. it's great interface, a scroll wheel, the ability to sort your music by a plethora of criteria, multiple playlist, basic PDA functionality such as the ability to carry contacts and appointments with you).”
“This is not something that should be purchased if you dislike losing control or are prone to losing small objects as the iPod shuffle is very tiny and could easily find itself lost in a backpack or on a cluttered desk.”
“I would recommend the iPod shuffle for those who want a simple music player that also gives you access to the best online music store. The iPod shuffle makes for a very good solid musical companion, as long as you don’t mind identifying songs the old school way, by ear.”
