Apple finally rolled out it’s talking iPod shuffle. This is smaller than its predecessor – it talks to the user of what song it is playing in 14 different languages!
This tiny (smaller than an AA battery) iPod will cost you $79 and can hold 1000 songs – this is twice the number than the predecessor. Controls have been moved to the earphone cord.
Needham & Co analyst Charles Wolf said the new Shuffle design was appealing and called the voice function a “nice a little gimmick. It shows that Apple intends to keep that piece of the portfolio going. They’re going to continue to innovate, upgrade the sub-$100 device.
