I switched from 1st generation iPod shuffle to 4th generation iPod shuffle

I used the first-generation iPod shuffle with a capacity of only 512 MB for a long time, but it is a feeling that the style of use is "always in my pocket and switching to the next song when I operate it" Since I wanted to use something I liked rather than an Apple standard for earphones as well, I was desperate with the 3rd generation iPod shuffle and worried that "I have no choice but to purchase second-generation second-hand ......" There was. , 2 GB capacity announced in September4 th generation iPod shuffleLooking at "I can change this if I do!" So I immediately purchased and tried to use it.

Photo review is from below.
Open package which seems to be transparent acrylic


The pedestal is also transparent, peel off the seal and remove like this


Below that there are instructions in this way.


Basic usage is explained when you spread it with a pillar


The back side looks like this


Below that is the earphone and USB cable


This way you can feel that the USB cable is briefly short. The 1st generation iPod shuffle was convenient because the USB terminal was integrated like the main body and USB memory, but this 4th generation iPod shuffle's USB cable is so short and small that it does not bother you to carry is.


This control button as to what was out in the 3rd generation which corresponds to the previous generation. Because this button disappeared and integrated with the earphone cable, the usual earphone can not be used basically. Although it was very painful, I felt that it rolled back and resurrected, personally it was an improvement point.


When using, earphone is inserted into the earphone terminal on the right end, so you can feel fumbling by which one is above and which is below and can be operated without problems.


At the left end is the power switch, playing music in the middle if you put it in the middle, shuffle playing if you take it all at once to the end. In the middle is the VoiceOver button, you can listen to the tracks and artists you are playing, you can select and play the playlist by keeping it pressed.


Back


Because it is a clip, it can be stopped in a place where it is likely to be stuck anywhere even in a pocket


If you plug in the USB cable it will look like this


Size comparison with iPhone 4


The thickness is a little thinner than the iPhone 4 as a thickness. The portion of the clip causes the thickness.


Compared to the original iPod shuffle, the width is slightly wider, the operation control button is slightly larger, the thickness is almost the same.
