I have bought the iPod Shuffle couple of weeks ago as I had won $50 futureshop gift card. So, I am a user of the ipod nano for a couple of weeks now.
I think iPod Shuffle looks cool, but it is not a very quality product.
The good thing of iPod Shuffle.
* It looks good with quality outlook.
* I love the clip. It is easy to clip it on my coat when I was running outside or in the gym.
* VoiceOver is good. It speaks English as well as Chinese.
The not so good thing.
* The battery is not good.
* The sound quality of headset is not good.
* The inline control is not as good as Apple claimed. Many times it doesn't work at all.
* The charging is cool but stupid. Not convenient. You have to use a PC to charge the battery.
I've also read a lot of post regarding the quality of iPhone. In general, I fell that Apple's product has cool industrial design and cool outlook. But the quality is not a strong point of Apple. They are not designed to be robust or for long life. They are just consumer product and you have to discard them in 1-2 years.
Other small music player may not be as good as the iPod Shuffle. The Sandisk's player looks like a cheap product. Zune has no smaller one. There ain't many choice in this small market segment.
