Apple iPod shuffle

The Apple iPod nano is the top-rated MP3 player among critics. Most say it's easy to use, and they love the updated slim design. Audio quality is good, and video playback is impressive despite the small 2-inch screen.… Apple has also added some new features like Genius playlists, shake-to-shuffle and a tilt-sensor screen. Be aware, however, that it's incompatible with some third-party accessories that worked with earlier-generation players. A 16 GB version (*est. $180) is also available.
