thought only can shuffle Laughing

but for the price, it's pretty cheap! Very Happy

oh heck.. already got an iRiver about to fill and give to sis and a free iPod mini from singnet so, i don't think i need one

aRcTiC_sTaR SG

Yeah you can only shuffle it...

Kinda dumb coS if you got songs of diiferent genres and language, you're gonna get Rojak. Imagine Eurodance one moment, Mak Sim's Flight Of The Bamble Bee next, and who knows, Guns N' Roses' November Rain. Get what I'm trying to say?

aRcTiC_sTaR SG

I wonder, how do you adjust the volume? Does the control pad work like the scroll-wheel...

Ok got it, I juZ saw the volume controls on the control pad @[email protected]

thinger SG

hmmm...i want one.

i like no-bullshit devices.

is that price off the apple site? i went there too...is it available in singapore?

the.raven SG

looks cool leh, can someone buy and give me as present?

Parka SG

Is it inbuilt batteries again?

If so, they really haven't wake up on their idea.

the.raven SG

whats inbuilt battery?

thinger SG

someone tell me WHY they think i shouldnt get an ipod shuffle...because the minute it hits shelves at the end of the month im getting one

unless you can talk me into not doing so...

aRcTiC_sTaR SG

Inbuilt batteries mean that you can't change the batteries by yourself coS you can't take the thing apart. Though I'm an iPod supporter, I have to applaude Creative's Zen Micro.

The Zen Micro comes in 10 colours. On top of that, what really I admire about the Zen Micro is its battery's versatility. You can replace the battery the same way you replace the batteries of your mobile phone. That also means that you can purchase an additional battery =)

aRcTiC_sTaR SG

By all means, go ahead and buy it. Its size is a + factor, however I think that the Shuffle is similar to most of the flash-based players in the market. Not really impressed with Steve's new toy.

shade343 SG

Dont be dumb. the Creative Muvo NX200 is much better than this

aRcTiC_sTaR SG

I was thinking of getting the Shuffle as a new toy. Might seem fun hanging it around my neck for a couple of days = Mr. Green

thinger SG

ialways liked creative things, but somehow, i dont like their mp3 players (withthe exception of the nomad one).

so why is the shuffle shit?

aRcTiC_sTaR SG

Actually the Shuffle is nothing special. It’s juZ a premium player coS it carries the iPod series.

thinger SG

yeah i only like it cos of the minimalist face.

thats about it. and its got a gig of space. =)
