Quote from the review:

“The Apple iPod family has just expanded with the introduction of their first flash based player, the Apple iPod Shuffle.

WhatsApp app store listing open on iPhone

There's no shortage of messaging apps out there. The past decade has given us more options than we know what to do with, largely because smartphones demanded something better than plain old SMS.
