Been using a 1st gen 1G Shuffle for years, no display but it's battery life is great and it actually has enough power to drive my 300ohm Sennheiser hd580 phones to listenable levels and still sounds awesome for a portable, plus I can use the controls while it's in my pocket by feel from the outside. That's one player they got right, a lot better than the 1st gen Nano by far.
