Apple iPod Shuffle vs Creative MuVo TX FM

Thanks to Brian Kendig for the image of the Shuffle
Note: The name has been changed from Apple iPod Shuffle vs Creative MuVo to Apple iPod Shuffle vs Creative MuVo TX FM. Sorry, but the name MuVo applyies to many mp3 players.

Welcome to the final match in the mp3 wars. Today, the unique iPod Shuffle will be up against Creative's MuVo TX FM. Both players are small and cheap, but will the iPod's lack of a screen lose it this battle? Find out!

Round One: Features

This is one of the Shuffle's weak points. The Shuffle's only feature is the swich on the back! It lets you change it from shuffle-playlist-off. The MuVo, meanwhile, has FM tuning, voice recording and a screen. It is in black and white, but that is better then nothing. The MuVo also has an equliser. Both of them can be used as a USB flash device.
Scores: Apple iPod Shuffe: C Creative Labs MuVo: B+

Round Two: User Friendliness

Now, this is one of the MuVo's weak points! The iPod has easy navigation and volume control, even without a screen. It's circular control looks easy to navigate. The MuVo button's meanwhile, look small, including the all-impotaint play-pause button. So far, this is the MuVo's only weak point.

Round Three: Storage Capacities

Both player's are evenly mached here. The Shuffle has a 512mb capacity and a 1gb capacity. The MuVo meanwhile is avalable in 128mb, 256mb, 512mb and 1gb. I am gessing that the MuVo's firmware will be larger then the Shuffle.

And the Winner is:
It is a tie. Both players are good and do their job. If you want a cooler, more user-friendly player go for the Shuffle. If you want a player that has lots of features go for the MuVo.
