Our friends over at Gizmodo recently compiled a list of reasons on why the iPod Shuffle beats the Nano. We’ve selected two of our favorites after the jump. Product page. What are your thoughts?

3. It’s tiny. It’s hard to imagine just how small the shuffle is until you’ve held one in your hand. It’s literally the size of a postage stamp. It’s 1 5/8″ wide and 1 1/16″ tall and it’s 3/8″ thick including the clip.

4. It’s cheap. At $79, it lowers the barrier of entry to using the iPod complement of features, the best of which is the iTunes Music Store which has a tremendous selection of DRM music that’s easily cracked, and the whole system works well with all of Apple’s players.
