iPod Shuffle - $29.99

[Cherbear013]

Just a heads up that www.1saleaday.com has some iPod shuffles on sale right now. They have five different colors available. I just got one for my aunt for Christmas since she keeps saying she wants to try one.

Thanks so much! Last November we got my teenage son an ITouch for his birthday. It was stolen a few months later at school. Maybe someday he'll remember to lock his gym locker. This Shuffle will work just fine for him to listen to his music.

Just ordered one. Thanks.

THanks! In for one! Is this appropriate for a 7 year old? Her older sister has one and she is dancing to music all the time!

my 11 y.o. ds really wants an itouch...we can't afford it. Maybe I should get him this instead?

My 5 yr old has one and can work it just fine so I'm sure your 7 yo will love it!

If your dd wants a touch its probably because it can do alot more than just play music. All the shuffle does is music so I would ask her first before you buy it. I know my dd would not want a shuffle if she was asking for a touch.

I don't know what your budget is but I got my 2 dses refurbished nanos (previous generation) for $100. They play music, video and have a video camera. That may be an option instead of a touch. Although the refurbished previous generation touches are $149 at apple.

Thanks OP, I think I'm going to grab one to keep in my car.

for $47. I've heard mixed reviews about company listed by OP.

Do not buy the shuffle instead of the touch. Not at all the same. The touch is awesome but $$ for sure.

Thanks! Just grabbed one for DH for Christmas. He's a runner and when he ends up running at night he'll go run at the track instead of running on the roads (I'm spastic that he'll get hit). So doing 4+ miles on the track gets pretty boring. He won't take my ipod because there's too much stuff on it that he doesn't like, lol.

I would love to find the newest iPod Touch (4th generation) at a great price, but I doubt that will happen for a while.

Might be able to pick up an older model (new or used) as they drop in price or as people upgrade.

Would this be an option for video capability at the same price?

Just an FYI, we bought DD(7) a shuffle last X-mas. She loved it at first, but then hated the fact she had to skip through forever to find the song she wanted. She inherited my old ipod nano when I got a new one. She likes it a lot better b/c she can see the song and find the song she wants. Of course, now she wants one that plays videos, etc. which will not be happening anytime soon.

So, I would only buy the shuffle if you think your child will not care about finding the songs they want, etc.

I would say it is a great starter IPOD, but you might be better off spending the $ and buying a refurbished nano where they can at least control what they are listening to.

Just my two cents..........

Ugh, I bought this for dd and the reviews on Amazon are not good. The buttons are on the headphones which make it difficult to control. Ugh, such an impulse buy. Maybe I can put it on craigslist or something.

Did you see the link for $47? I thought that was pretty good for newest model.
