iPod Shuffle
Finally got around to getting my taxes done this Tuesday, and I immediately (as in 15 minutes after having the refund money order cashed I had bought it) went out to get an iPod shuffle with my refund. This is the newest in Apple iPod line of digital music players, and I must say that so far I'm in love with this device. Nice and light, good sound quality - and well doesn't skip constantly (or at all for that matter) unlike my old cd player that this is replacing.
Some people complain about the shuffle not having a screen, but I do not see this as being a real disadvantge with this type of device. In a system with a large amount of storage a screen would be required, as you need to be able to navigate the large amount of music on the device, but with a device designed for a single playlist or a random selection of songs not only is a screen unnecessary, having one would be a waste of battery power.
If your in the market for a new music playing device, and are on a budget and cannot afford one of the other iPods, I would certainly recommend getting one, it's by far the best flash based mp3 player I've used.
