PC Magazine has reviewed the second-generation iPod shuffle MP3 Player. 'The shuffle, available in silver only, measures just 1.1 by 1.6 by .4 inches and weighs only half an ounce. It comes with the telltale iPod white earbuds and a charge/sync cable. The cable has a standard USB 2.0 plug at one end, and the other end is a small white docking cradle with a 3.5-mm minijack sticking out of it. The minijack plugs into the shuffle's headphone jack, which doubles as a charging and syncing port, just like the headphone jack on the MobiBlu DAH-1500i.
I'm a bit surprised at this move on Apple's part, though the inclusion of an integrated USB plug on the device itself (as in the previous-gen shuffle) would have compromised the outrageously compact form factor. The docking cradle seems a bit unnecessary to me, but it would have been better served by being compatible with a standard iPod cable with the 30-pin connector.'
