I hate this because i'm clumsy and I drop it and change the song a lot. And I don't wanna turn it off cause its kinda cool when I actually want the song to change -_- they should make an app for nanos since it has some sorta sensor o_O
I think that feature is stupid, unnecessary, and makes it easier for something to go wrong. Imagine there is some kind of a sensor for the shaking action, and it breaks; I am not sure if there is the original shuffle feature, but if there is not and it breaks, you would not be able to shuffle songs. Also, if someone had arthritis or other pains/difficulty involving their hand, they may not be able to shake something like that. Anyway, that is just my view.
I have some wrist issues and I believe it's still possible to shuffle using your elbow as an axis, but I'm a drummer so I have to be creative to make a lot of moves that were pretty trivial before, so maybe others will have more problems. And yeah, it's pretty useless but definitely cool.
no no no your all doing it wrong just hold it with the screen towards you and quickly bring it straight down in the same postion works every time for me without embarassment.
Im enjoying my 4g so far. People say tht you have to shake your ipod like a madman in order to shuffle, but I found that all it takes is a single jerk in any direction. But its cool because I did the good ole' jogging/running test, the song never switched.
I can shake it once towards the left pretty hard and it'll shuffle just from that. You have to move your wrist in one big motion for the best effect, IMO.
you need to kind of jerk it, instead of shaking it. at first mine didnt work, but then i realised i was doing it wrong. just do it how they do it in the vid and it'll work.
why would you want to shake your ipod to shuffle? what if you droppen into you lap and it changed songs? what a worthless feature...the ipod touch is way better...suckers XDXD
What's the name of the last song on the video?x

go into the main menu, then go to settings, general, and shake to shuffle should be listed there. just click it and it should turn on.

you have to do it quite vigorously to make it shuffle..i don't think walking or anything would shuffle it tbh?

I'd rather buy nano, at least my screen won't get scratched so easily =/
