Initially I really wanted to buy it online. If you do, they have a free service of engraving whatever you wanted on your Ipod Shuffle. But as usual.. I don't have a credit card. :p Was gonna engrave the title of this post and my short name.
First off.. unwrapping my gadget. Apple packagings are like the best ever. Everything was neatly positioned in the box and had wrappers around them to make sure they will not scratch or fall out of place.
As for the hardware itself, my only complaint is that the earphone wires are way too short. To be honest, I am a really short guy. I mean really! Erm.. 5 feet plus if I'm not mistaken. And the earphone wires are already stretched to their limit if I put the iPod Shuffle into my pocket. And if you think of it, finding a better replacement will not be easy since they incorporated the controls into the earphone set. Dear Mr.Apple, If you wanted to reinforce your earphone sets to make it compulsory then at least have the foresight to include longer wires. I know that they will probably be third party earphones with controls in the near future too. But that would still mean I have to spend additional money.
iTunes is another prick I am really disliking. 2 reasons, I find the equalizer functions really inadequate and weak. I was using JetAudio Basic which was so much better. It also allows me to sort files by their actual file names. I had to spend 1 hour just to edit the information on every song just to get iTunes to arrange them right.
Second and the more important point, it doesn't recognize A FEW of my favorite songs. Hence I cannot load it into my iPod Shuffle since it needs to go through iTunes. That's really a major piss-off, when I was looking forward to rocking to those songs on the go. I have been using a lot of different mp3 players and none has ever not been able to recognize all the songs I have. There is no error message or anything, nothing just happens when I select the file. If anyone has any solution to this please drop me a comment of something. I have tried Googling but to no avail.
Ok.. Now for the most important part which I initially left out because I wanted to fully charge my iPod before I use it. The playback quality... which is absolutely superb! I am noticing notes and details of songs which I have not noticed before. Voices are clear and crisp. Initially I was worried whether not having the option to play around with the equalizer will lower the quality of playback from the iPod Shuffle itself. But my worries were in vain.
As for the Voice feature, I'm not really getting it to work. The only thing it ever says is "All Songs". I think I'll need to fool around to see if I can get it to finally say the song titles. Will update on that, if I can remember to. Lol! As for now, I'm gonna go enjoy my music.. :p

Not sure if anyone noticed, but there are a few duplicate photos. One with flash and one without. Was just messing around with the new Ds7. And it looks like I need way more practice. The pictures I took looked so grained. -_-"
I managed to get VoiceOver to work. :p My own careless mistake. Apparently it needs to be activated even after you installed the VoiceOver software. I tried setting the Voiceover tp Japanese language to see if it felt JDM. Lol! Meh.. Didn't have no feeling. So back to English.
:P
