i just picked up a 1 GB ipod shuffle to complement my 20 GB ipod. i bought it to run with, and i don't even really notice it when it is hanging around my neck. i thought i might miss having a screen on the player, but for what i use it for, i'd never look at it. if you *need* a screen, look elsewhere, but the ipod shuffle is suiting my needs quite well. very competitive price, too.
