"Simplicity"
What I like:
Size, weight and price.
What I don't like:
No LCD. I've got one that simply no PC will detect.
Review:
I like its simplicity and dedicated volume and it goes damm loud. Its the only player in the iPod range I'd suggest simply cos you can move the songs onto other computers with it. Something other iPods are incapable of. This may not be quite true, but I have done this myself once.
