New iPod Shuffle released

Apple quietly released a new iPod Shuffle. This time design looks like a pack of gum. This new music-gadget is nearly half of the size from the previous model (smaller than a AA battery). Data size is 4GB and it has controls now on the earbud cord. Cool new feature about this next gen is text to speech. It tells you for example playlist name, artist and track names. With that akward robotic voice, I guess.

I love when companies are using fancy marketing words to describe product and it's features. "shuffle features a gorgeous new aluminum design.....stainless steel clip that makes it ultra-wearable". Ultra-wearable! "Hey, your iPod is So Ultra-wearable!"

Features:

• Price 85€ (in Finland)
• 4GB
• Silver or black, stainless steel clip
• Controls on earbud line
• Text to speech -artist and track names
• 10 hours of playback
