The "Early 2007" colored iPod shuffle (Second Generation) models are identical to the iPod shuffle (Second Generation) except that they are available in colors -- orange, green, blue, and pink -- as well as the original silver. However, regardless of color, the colored iPod shuffle (Second Generation) models ship with revised earbuds that are designed to sit in the ear without foam "caps" -- previously introduced with the iPod 5th Generation Enhanced and iPod nano 2nd Generation -- and the packaging uses gray text instead of green.
All iPod shuffle (Second Generation) models use a tiny 1.07 inch tall, 0.98 inch wide, and 0.33 inch deep case including a "clip" that makes it easy to attach the iPod shuffle (2nd Generation) to a pocket or other piece of clothing.
The second generation models lack the integrated USB port of the first generation model, but instead have a headphone jack that provides connectivity for the headphones, music synchronization, and power (via a tiny USB dock).
Regardless of color, the iPod shuffle 2nd Generation (Colors) models use 1 GB of flash memory -- capable of supporting 240 songs -- but as each lack a display, do not support photo slideshows or video playback. Apple reports an estimated 12 hours of battery life.
