Matheus Weber, You were almost correct. Apple did not release a new iPod Shuffle in 2011, but they released the iPod Nano Sixth Generation as a type of replacement. The reason that most of the comments are dated back to 2010 is because that was the year the newest model of the iPod Shuffle (Fourth Generation) was released.Godspeed!~SWWPD

Apple iPod shuffle 2 GB Blue (4th Generation) NEWEST MODELMatheus Weber,The newest iPod Shuffle is the Fourth Generation. It looks a lot like the iPod Shuffle Second Generation, but it's slightly smaller. If you were to base shuffles off of design and size then the iPod Nano Sixth Generation would be considered the newest shuffle. Also Apple has put buttons back onto the shuffle itself. We are no longer required to buy six or seven replacement headphones to control that terribly small device known as the iPod Shuffle Third Generation.

Oh, thanks for the answer mate!But at 2011 didn't Apple release new generation of Shuffles, right?Because some reviews of this iPod are from September 10, 2010.

Hi there. I'm not sure about the iPod shuffle. However, I would not recommend this item. I only used mine a few times before it broke. Neither Amazon or Lucky would assist me in a replacement or refund so I am very unhappy. Buyer beware.

I have the exact same problem, my 2nd Gen just broke and the new shuffle appear to be worthless. Some people recommend buying a reconditioned 2nd Gen from Apple but they appear to be out of stock. Not sure where to turn! Ipod Nano is popular but heavier than I'd prefer. Bring back the 2nd Gen Apple!

I have 8GB on my curent (Gen 4) iPod. I have been wanting to upgrade to a video iPod for a while, but decided to wait hoping a new one would come out (similar to the iPhone). I am a little concerned about only having 16GB, but even more concerned about its shape. Is this iPod expected to fit into current iPod accessories? I have an iDock for my AV receiver, and I'd be bummed if this didn't fit. It came with several adaptors, but I don't think it has any that are for an iPod that thin.

Mine never worked. I have the most recent generation of iPod shuffle as of summer 2014.

Ahhhhh....so you were sent the wrong Altec Lansing docking station. I still haven't ordered another one from Amazon yet. I was thinking about taking my IPOD touch (2nd Gen/16 GB) in to Target or Wal-Mart to try it on their docking stations. Has anyone ever tried that??Also, GM...I went through A.L. Tech support and none of the adaptors worked either. By the way, did you get a white plastic adaptor that came with your IPOD??? I found one here and it has 16 written on it. The black ones that I sent back to Amazon all had different numbers.Thanks,Seaturtlelady

Hey - I too am in Birgitta's position, trying to decide whether I should stick with iPods or go over to Zune. I currently own a iPod Mini and did not like how the battery went bad and now can only be played once before the iPod says that the battery is low and goes out. I am trying to decide whether to get a 80G Zune or an 80G iPod classic. My main question is - being an iPod owner, I have put so much time into my iTunes organizing it, putting in cover art, etc.If I was to buy a Zune, can I get everything out of the iTunes, including cover art?thanks

I'd like to help but can hardly tell one iPod from another...my iPod is really really really old - at least five years, an 80G..does that help? This amp has an amazing system for adding frequencies to the mp3s. The songs sound, for once, as they should, not artificial, and quite rich..I'm very happy with this unit

It depends on your ears actually.. To me, and coincidentally for quite a number, the best sound quality has got to be the ipod 5.5 generation (30g or 80g) since they use a better audio chip (Wolfson). I used to have a classic but traded it in for the 5.5 gen. The sound of the 5.5 gen is warmer, more natural, 'acoustical', and has more depth. Listen to big speakers when comparing this generation to ALL other ipods and you'll know what we're talking about. Cheers.

Any earbuds with a 3.5 mm stereo jack will work with the iPod shuffle. I typically don't use the Apple earbuds because they do not fit my ear well. I use some Sony earbuds I purchased at Walmart.

my name: I don't understand your argument. Just because it is first generation, that means it does not benefit from what is currently available on the technology market? That is like saying a new television manufacturer should only be expected to supply black and white TVs, since it is their first forray into the market.King: My prediction is that in 2 years this will be roughly equal to all other MP3 players out there. A feature here or there will be different, just to stand out. Unfortunately, they will probably not have the market share to knock out the damn iPod.

My Ipod, is a Nano, so not so new, but I use it every day and have recently downloaded new tunes from itunes. It works great!

They didn't push the release back. Apple was always going to release the shuffle on October 31, but Amazon had it listed more than two weeks earlier when there was literally no chance of their listing being true. I can wait, lol, it's not a big deal, but it's still shady.

Hello Lindsay, Don't feel bad about not knowing anything about these electronic devices, if you don't you use them you would have no reason to know anything about them. Let me start by addressing the question at hand of playing games. The version that you have selected, the nano, does not have any games available for it. This version of an ipod would not work for what you need. That being said, the version that you would need will need to have these things in its description or even title, "TOUCH." This means it'd be for a version of ipod that you operate by touching the screen the same as you would with a smart phone. Also, you would need one that is any of the following Generations. 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 7th. The best way to look at these is like cars. Each year the newest model will come out and it just improves on the previous years model. For an Ipod, what that generally means is more storage space on the device and they tend to get smaller and sleeker. These devices do not come with the games. To actually get games on the device, you will need to download from the itunes store online. Remember you do not want a Nano, and it has to be a "touch" version of the generations that we mentioned. We hope this helps and please feel free to ask any other questions!

Me too. Looking for a FM transmitter for my 2nd Generation Shuffle. Wish we could get some answers here.

Not sure about the iPod shuffle but I have used it with my iphone 4 and iphone 5 and it works great. It comes with two cords: one is a charger and the other is the cord to play the music in the car. I think they are universal. And yes, it plugs into the earphone outlet of both of my iPhones. Hope this helps!

Sorry, Zikar, I don't know. I don't use my Shuffle any more because it is inferior to other iPods.
