Excellent for the money
I bought mine used, found a good deal on Ebay. These are really nice if you like buying music off ITunes or downloading podcasts, it's the cheapest compatible player out there. I picked the 2nd generation model over the latest because these will use regular headphones (latest gen needs special headphones that have the controls on them). And 1 GB is plenty for the music I have. The nice thing about this Ipod Shuffle is that it remembers where you stopped, so if you're listening to a long podcast, you can stop it and then pickup later.
I ordered a non-OEM accessory power kit to allow you to charge the batter from a wall outlet or your car's lighter socket, so you're not obligated to turn on your computer everytime you need to charge it. The charge lasts a long time.

Good basic webcam
This is a great webcam for video chatting and the like. The view is a little more close-up than other webcams, not sure if that's a resolution thing or not. But it's typical Logitech in being clearer than MS Lifecams and it works good with Ubuntu Linux for Skype.
I've also had a Quickcam Communicate Deluxe that I didn't like because the image was slightly wider than reallife, even though the angle was larger (larger resolution). But the Comm Deluxe had a problem that some Logitech cams with RightLight have: If the webcam is being moved from one computer to another or hasn't been used in a long time, sometimes the screen comes up black because the iris is locked, so just shine a flashlight into the lens, waving it around to trigger it open again.
