    Further to a previous post,i have been looking at the very small IPOD SHUFFLE,it comes with the basic features,which is what i need

    Question is,is the cable connector the same as the other Ipods out there?
    not the usb end,but the end that connects to the ipod itself
    I wont be using the docking station,but using it in the car,which has a ipod adapter connected to the car stereo shown here

    Well unfortunally no, the ipod shuffle don't use the regular ipod connector to sync instead is a round headphone like plug, it is a share connection, means same connection for the headphones and the sync cable. i was just at the apple store and i my self was curious about the connection on the shuffle. Good Luck. PS you can get the refurbished ipod nano this will have the standard ipod connector that is shown on the pic you link, bellow is a link to apples refurbished section.

    Thanks for letting me know
    I guess i need an ipod with the cable conections i need,which is a shame,as the shuffle price new for a 1gb is only £30

    Pity there isnt anything else that uses the same connections
