It would appear

my ipod shuffle has replaced my old mp3 player without me really planning it to. It's just so light and sexy. It even has built in protection for a variety of events, for instance if it becomes unclipped it won't fall to the floor cos its so light the headphones can suspend it in the air.

Not only that, but if u stupidly drop it in your washing up bowl... like I did today, it floats and hence reduces the amount of water it touches. I think.

Assuming its still working....
