Now people can hear the name of the artist as they listen to their music on Apple’s new iPod shuffle.
The company updated their iPod shuffle line by making it smaller than the previous generation, adding VoiceOver for navigation and increasing the memory to 4GB.
The shuffle’s VoiceOver feature allows the music player to vocalize song titles, artists and playlist names created from iTunes, a first for the iPod shuffle. It can also tell the user the status of the unit, such as battery life. VoiceOver is available in 14 languages.
Sporting an aluminum body with a stainless steel clip, the new iPod shuffle comes in silver or black. Compared to the previous model, the new shuffle moves most of the navigation functions unto the headphone remote, which reduces the number of buttons on the unit itself. It can hold up to 1000 songs and costs $79.
The new iPod shuffle, now taking up less space in your pocket. Just don’t forget to take it out before washing those pants. ;-P
