2nd generation shuffle clones
 

This is what I found on Ebay UK, the next generation iPod Shuffle clones, and they look very nice.

Nice... but can this be a real 1gb capacity? I think not! He probably is taking so much to ship, just if someone sends it back, just get's his 7,99 punds and is screwd.

they do look proper , i havnt seen much of the smaller real shuffles , but i sure could mistake one of them for the real thing easily

These are very nice. I can get these but wasn't sure if they would sell good or not. I noticed the color black as well which Apple doesn't make the shuffle in black.

Well, I just made a offer on one off the Shuffle Clones and I won it. I paid 38 Euro for it, shipping included. I will give a review when I receive it. When it looks good and the quality is okay, than it is a bargain at 1/3 of the Apple retail price. If not...........I loose 38 Euro. I'v ordered green color.

Do people actually buy that crap? Why? I thought the Shuffle was a unanimous failure, why's it still around? The original Shuffle sucks, the new Shuffle sucks 2 x as much, and a clone shuffle can only suck more. Mp3 only player with limited features, no file browsing, cost @ 28lbs, the price of a good 2GB mp4 player? Brilliant. If you can get people to buy that then marketing really is everything. I'd much rather buy a Samsung if its to be mp3 only, it will have an actual screen, and it will blow that little toy away in every possible feature, and cost less to boot.

Yeah but it sure is small, like realy SMALL (I mean it!), I had one in my hands a week ago. And it's cute but whatever...

ps: oh and 38€ is like 1/2 the price of a real one down here... it's 79€.

I think this will be a big hit, I really don't need 1gig of space on a plyer that has no screen, but I like this form factor, the real shuffle clip is weak so I hope the clone picks up on it and improves... I just wish they had the orange colour...

also I heard that you can "fast forward" by holding down the >> or << buttons... I'm gonna get one if uxcell sells it.

*I think that apple made such a weak clip so that it does not crimp the shirt or whatever the material is...

please do a review when you get it and let us know how the paint job/ clip is...thanks

Here it is even 89 Euro, nobody knows why we have to pay 10 Euro more than the rest of Europe. Just for that reason I will never buy a Apple music player.

Re: 2nd generation shuffle clones
 

So the reason to buy the 2nd gen Apple Shuffle design is because of its size or clip? Well this 1gb player from Samsung is very small and has a very sturdy clip. Plus an actual screen, fm radio and no doubt better sound quality, as well as build quality. Did I mention its currently $20US shipped and is going to go soon?:

SAMSUNG YP-F1 ZW 1GB DIGITAL MP3 PLAYER

Sorry, unless I was giving one to a 12yr old girl, I can not see why the Shuffle is a better choice, especially at its price! Having shopped for an mp3 player recently (see my review of the Panasonic here, which blows away the Shuffle in every way and probably at a cheaper price), to me the great advantage of getting a smaller mp3 player is that you can forego the irreplaceable lithium battery that only lasts 5hrs or so. If, for the same money or less, I can buy a unit with a "real" battery (aa/aaa) that can last 40 hrs or more, and be replaced for pennies from any sales counter in the free world, I find that a no brainer... I know the original Shuffles were considered a bomb. How well are these 2nd gen ones selling anyway?
