I have been a happy iPod Video 5th gen owner for quite some time. I recently got the new iPod Shuffle because I liked that it was so small and I could easily use it while riding a bike. I am amazed how at much I love it. It is so much smaller than I expected, it is actually smaller than a box of matches. It is extremely light and is easy to clip on to your shirt pocket or sleeve. I love how I can easily adjust volume or skip tracks, something I hated about trying to ride with the iPod Video. I often had to pull over to change playlists or readjust the volume. At its $79 price point it is a great addition even if you already have a full sized iPod.
