Recently Apple® introduced the all-new iPod® shuffle, the world’s smallest music player at nearly half of the size of the previous model, and the first music player that talks to you.

The revolutionary new VoiceOver feature enables the iPod shuffle to speak your song titles, artists and playlist names.

The third-generation iPod shuffle is significantly smaller than an AA battery, holds up to 1 000 songs and is easier to use with all of the controls conveniently located on the earphone cord. With the press of a button, you can play, pause, adjust volume, switch playlists and hear the name of the song and artist.

iPod shuffle features a gorgeous new aluminium design in black or silver, with a built-in stainless steel clip that makes it ultra-wearable.

“Imagine your music player talking to you, telling you your song titles, artists and playlist names,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of iPod and iPhone™ Product Marketing. “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.”

iPod shuffle is based on Apple’s incredibly popular shuffle feature, which randomly selects songs from your music library. And now, when you can’t remember the name of a song or an artist playing, with the press of a button iPod shuffle tells you the name of the song and artist. iPod shuffle can even tell your status information, such as battery life.

With the ability to hold up to 1 000 songs and the VoiceOver feature, you can now easily switch between multiple playlists on your iPod shuffle.

The iPod shuffle can speak 14 languages including English, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish.

The iPod shuffle is the smallest music player in the world and is incredibly easy to clip to almost anything and take with you everywhere you go and features up to 10 hours of battery life.*
