Shuffle > all others for me?

[Fluxpod]

I bought a 30gb iPOD last year that I wanted to use for working out but it proved to bulky for my tastes. I have been tempted to get a mini for a long time but I don't need that much storage now. But now, we have the shuffle! It looks to fit my needs exactly but I have a few questions:

1. How big is the armband? Will it fit over a 16" arm?
2. Is the dock base needed or is it just a snazzy extra to make use easier?
3. Will the battery truly last 12 hours you think?

Plus, a 1gb flash drive is something I don't own and would like.

Hi, why not go to a store and see if you can test one firsthand...

The armband would most probably be adjustable and accomodate most sizes

the dock base is an extra, some people need/like docks, others don't

the battery will probably last from 8 - 10 hours under normal usage conditions (i.e. frequent button touching)
