Apple quietly launched its all NEW iPod Shuffle which is smaller in size than its previous version and the first ever talking music player.

Priced at $79, with a storage capacity of 4GB which can store up-to 1000 songs, the ability to talk and size as small as an AA battery makes this iPod Shuffle a must buy for everyone.

Available now in silver and black with a built-in stainless steel clip which makes it wearable on anything and lets you carry anywhere without any hassles.

iPod 4GB The new exciting feature that Apple has introduced with this iPod Shuffle is known as VoiceOver, with the press of a button this feature lets you know what song you are playing and who is the performing artist.

It also voices-out the names of your playlist making it the first iPod shuffle with playlists as well and the best part is all of this is done without interrupting your music.

Volume of the song is dipped when the VoiceOver is active and pumps the volume up once done. VoiceOver is available in 14 languages or you can say it speaks in 14 languages to you.

They say size matters and this iPod shuffle is definitely the smallest ever music player sized at 1.8” tall X 0.3” thin. To create an iPod shuffle as small as this Apple has moved its controls from the iPod shuffle to the earphone cord. Now, moving all the controls to the earphone cable means that you cannot replace the default headphones with your better or more expensive ones (not a smart move I’d say).

With this new change in the location of the controls it has become even more convenient for the users to control the music. You might be on a ride, drive, walk or whatever; you do not need to take your eyes off it with just a press of a button you can play, pause, adjust volume, switch playlists and activate VoiceOver.

With a battery life of almost 10 hours the system requirements are as mentioned below.
