Ok, I know it is ghetto, but I am on a limited budget for Christmas.
I was going to get my niece a 512MB Shuffle for $100, but I had a guy I know offer me a good 1 Gig Shuffle for $90. It is in good shape, but 5 months old. Will that mean the battery is going to start going bad in 6 months, since I had some people tell me Li-Ions only last a year.
Another question: iPod Shuffle

something you have to consider on that front is while manufacturing processes call for a fairly consistent product, there's still some variance there. The battery could last longer than a year, then again it could die on you as soon as you get it. a 1 GB shuffle for 90 bucks sounds pretty good, I would grab it and worry about the battery later, just expect to replace it sooner than usually expected with a new one. I've heard some have bad batteries out of the box (this was on the iPods back when I first started working at Best Buy a while ago)....you never know man. Good deals have risks, what can I say, lol.
