There's no such thing, the Shuffle and Mini were separate models.

The Shuffle was the size of a USB drive, used solid state storage, and had no screen, the Mini was the one with the first touch Click Wheel and metallic colour choices, and used a 4GB spinning hard drive.

the 2nd generation Shuffle moved to a more miniature clip-on design and required a dock to charge and sync, I gather that’s what OP is referring to
