Full disclosure: I am an Apple-phile. Over the years I've invested in so many Apple products, I couldn't count them if I tried. Likewise, I can't (nor will I) count the thousands of dollars I've invested. Withholding praise for so many of the products they've done right thus far, I am recommending my currently most cherished golden egg: the iPod shuffle.
And a silence falls over the internet... Seriously, the clip iteration of the shuffle is the smartest, cleanest, most inherently perfect device in my personal Apple line up. Perhaps I love it for its minimalism. In purpose and form it is diminutive, performing a short list of functions exceptionally well.
Big enough to hold a day's worth of tunes, and light enough to go unnoticed on your shirt collar, the Shuffle is a masterwork of music portability. I use mine when I'm running, biking, walking the dog, using power tools, and just sitting around. If only I could find a decent set of headphones with a 16" chord.
If you don't have one, get one. For $50 it's a go anywhere, do anything insurance policy for your more expensive iPod/iPhone; and you'll quickly find that size doesn't matter, this one stands with giants.The iPod shuffle clip design has that "how did we exist before this" magic of zip ties.
