    Duration of ownership: 15 Days

    Strengths: none

    Weaknesses:It does not work. It has a counterfit serial number.

    Overall Evaluation: I purchased an ipod shuffle for my 7 year old daughter. It's about all she wanted for Christmas. When we contacted apple to ask why the music wouldn't download, they informed us that the serial number was counterfit. In other words it is a fake ipod shuffle. I am in the process of contacting vtshotdeals, however there is no phone number. Only e-mail. Convenient, isn't it? Well, we are hoping for the best, but right now we are not very happy.

    Strengths: size

    Weaknesses:durability, warranty, ease of use

    Overall Evaluation: I purchased the shuffle for my son last Christmas. He loved it, except he couldn't see the titles of the songs (they were from my library, so he didn't always know what he was listening to). We also had a hard time figuring out how to load it manually, so he couldn't make sure his favorite songs were included. A couple months ago he complained that it wouldn't work. We tried several things, including charging the battery and restoring the settings but nothing worked. We called for a repair, as it was still under warranty, but in order to have it fixed we had to pay $31.00 "shipping and handling." This "shipping" charge amounted to a third of the purchase price for an item that could fit in a legal envelope. He has asked for a nano this year, but Apple will not get any more of my money. I'm going back to buying cds. At least I own them and can play them on anything I want.

    Duration of ownership: 1 Months

    Strengths: small, light

    Weaknesses:non existent tech support

    Overall Evaluation: I received the shuffle for Christmas and enjoyed it for the month that I could use it. It's April and my ipod is still sitting in a warehouse somewhere. I call religiously on the days they tell me to, but still no ipod. They are apparently waiting for a part. Customer service is unable to offer anything except a bunch of case numbers and random "expected" delivery dates. If you get the flashing amber and green light, you'd have better luck letting it sit in your own closet.
