In the crowded world of portable media players there’s no bigger name than Apple who simply dominates the market with their various iPod offerings. Since we’ve already reviewed the iPod nano 2G and the iPod Video 5G, the iPod we’ll be taking a look at today is the iPod shuffle 2G which sets a couple iPod records by being the smallest iPod ever, as well as the cheapest ever at $79. Of course, to set those records the shuffle had to cut the fat somewhere, and the obvious omission is that it lacks any real display, with only a small tri-color led to indicate basic functionality to the user. With all of the competing portable media devices available to consumers now, does the cheapest, smallest, and simplest iPod to date have what it takes to win the battle for your ears?
