最近因为安装了长城卫星电视平台（总共17个中文台，但其中有吸引力的只有湖南卫视和凤凰卫视），DISH Network公司附带赠送了一个iPod Shuffle，其外形如下图所示：



这个MP3播放器可以说是小得令人印象深刻：

但我对这一新款设计并非十分满意，下面这些从网上看到的评论文字也基本表达了我的看法：

5 reasons I like my iPod Shuffle 1GB and 3 leads to improve it

(A) 5 reasons I like my iPod Shuffle:

* It’s small and hence handy (real size here on the picture).

* Still, buttons are of reasonable size so that it’s not hard at all to switch track whilst running.

* The autonomy’s pretty excellent (about 12 hours listening to music).

* It’s water resistant (let’s put it that way).

* The clip doesn’t get tired easily, and it fastens to your clothes surprisingly well.

(B) However, it’s not perfect at all. Here’s why:

* Standard Apple headphones aren’t adapted to running (don’t stick to my ears).

* It’s rather expensive for what it is (1GB of hard drive only).

* No screen so you don’t get to know what song you’re playing, but you knew about that when you bought the device so it’s your fault.
