+ Incredibly portable little mp3 player - ideal for taking to the beach, walking the dog, gym use etc. Small and light + not too expensive so great for taking places where it might get lost / stolen (lets face it, you'd be very unhappy if your iPod touch got nicked!)

- Can't think of any! OK, would be nice to have playlists / screen but this isn't really feasible with such a tiny device.

Tejal, Birmingham, “Just had a baby!”

+ It's great for a short term fix. If you want more features and capacity, better to look for something else. I found that the i-Pod Shuffle was perfect for a short stay in hospital - easy to load up my fave tracks and great sound quality. Only charged the battery once so far.

- It's probably it's most redeeming feature that it's so small - I worry it'll fall out of my handbag! I can't knock it for anything though.
