Finally!

I've been waiting for iPodLounge to release their review of the iPod Shuffle and it has finally come out.

As with previous iPod reviews, they have two kinds of reviews: the New Users' review and the Power Users' review.

I'll update this blog as soon as I have the chance to read the reviews.

Comments about the iPod Shuffle from Applematters.

UPDATE:
MacWorld calls the iPod Shuffle the Smallest, Most Affordable iPod Yet Is a Very Big Deal.

"To appreciate the iPod shuffle you must abandon some notions of what a music player must be... the iPod shuffle is akin to a radio station that you’ve chosen because you appreciate the style of music it plays... I imagine that there are a lot of potential and current iPod owners who will appreciate the convenience of being able to easily throw a subset of their music collection on a $99 or $149 device that doesn’t skip, sounds good, and plays their favorite tunes with the press of a single button."

UPDATE:
Time Magazine names the iPod Shuffle as Gadget of the Week.

It's very easy to write extensively about music players these days without ever mentioning sound quality, but let me set some minds at ease: it sounds great. There's no audible difference between the iPod Shuffle and its larger kin.
