Apple today released the world’s smallest music player weighing in at only 10.7 grams. The only issue… you have to use Apple’s proprietary headphones. Why? Because Apple compensated the space by not having buttons on the device.
Yes, that’s right, the buttons are now located on the headphones, just like the iPhone. Some may find this convenient whilst others will find it frustrating to fork out $48AUD! each time they lose their headphones (which I quite often do).
It’s now also including a new VoiceOver feature that enables the iPod shuffle to speak your song titles, artists and playlist names. I’m thinking we’ll probably see this feature roll-out in the next firmware upgrade on the current iPods and iPhone.
Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of iPod and iPhone Product Marketing said
“The amazingly small new iPod shuffle takes a revolutionary approach to how you listen to your music by talking to you, also making it the first iPod shuffle with playlists.”
So if you’re up for buying the new iPod shuffle you can get it for $129 @ Apple.com.au
