British based magazine Which?, which is well-respected for its systematic testing of consumer products and financial services, has ranked the new iPod Shuffle last in a new poll, putting it at the bottom of a list of nine players tested. While not a cutting-technology magazine, its strong 520,000 readers do carry a very influential force in the consumer electronics market.
According to the magazine, consumers “found the Apple device difficult to use and very limited in its capabilities.” Although priced at a low price of £38 (GBP), it fell short due the lack of an FM radio, voice recorder, screen and the inability for the user to selectively choose songs.
Who reigned supreme? Both the Philips GoGear Spark and the Philips GoGear Raga, which are only available to the European market, found themselves way ahead of the competition. The Philips GoGear Spark impressed readers with its capability of 49 hours of music playback.

I was talking a look at the ipad on Amazon and I noticed that the Applecare section for the ipad only said it runs for 2 years. Does anyone know why is not lasting 3 years like every other Apple product? Ok, well the iphone/ipods now says it is 2 years too on the Applecare. When did they all change to 2 years and not 3?
