Apple just doubled the capacity of its iPod shuffle to 4GB while ditching the control wheel entirely. The new design keeps the clip and adds VoiceOver -- a new feature that gets around the lack of display by telling you which song is playing and who performs it at the touch of a button on the earbud cable. It'll also call out your playlists and let you navigate to others. Available in black or silver for $80 and your claim to what Apple calls the "world's smallest music player."

So tired of buying MP3 Players.

 

It's gonna get to a point some day where your gonna be losing everything cause this shit is so small.



Hell, it already is too small IMO.

 

Playlists FTW...too bad you'll have to deal with crappy earphones till someone comes out with versions with the controls

 

Hooray for the robot voice!


I'm getting one and changing the artists and song titles to something like Eat Before You Talk - Son

 

yay!! i product that can fall out of my pocket easier!


i personally need to see what the hell im playing

 

......that is why you get a Nano instead

 

Pretty cool, I had an AWIA FM radio about that small back in the 80's, I loved it for when I rode my bike.

 

It has a CLIP!

 

i had one. it got stolen... oh well.
iPods still piss me off. i rather just have a "click and Drag" feature for these damn things where u can make your own folders instead playlists and the remodeling the whole ipod itself.

 

$80 for 4GB?!?!?!?!? mama

 

WTF?! this is getting lame. i want to download songs directly to my fucking car. when are we going to have that?

 

That small? I think it needs to be implanted for me not to lose it.

 

thats the plan

 

+ 1

For as smart as cars are nowadays, they sure are stupid when it comes to high tech access like wi-fi.

 

reminds me of zoolander's cell phone.

 

and wait... the voice changes depending on if you sync with a mac or pc??? huh???

Not long. Didn't the new Navs in the 7 series implement internet capability?

 

-_- Smaller.. and smaller.. and smaller.... I can hardly find my keys nowadays..

 

when can you buy this?

 

I think today.

I just watched the demo vid on apple.

Unless they make a headset like my monster one where the shuffle plugs right in and there are no wires I'll be passing.

I am DONE dealing with wires.

 

I'll pass...

 

My 20GB iPod Photo from '05 still works. I like having a display.

 

at the "too small" comments! Yes, I agree, and am waiting for the Dick Tracy wristwatch/phone/communications/music player/recorder/video unit.
Every device can be (and commonly is) integrated into a flip-phone sized case now, so I'm just waiting for a wristwatch-sized one, bishes!!

 

I was just thinking of getting a 2g shuffle for the gym. My iPhone gets sweat all over it when it's in my pocket.

Man the shuffle has as much space as my phone

 

It looks so weird without any buttons on the front

 

That's the first thing I thought too. And if you already have better headphones... not gonna work.

For those who lose or break their shuffle headphones? Gotta go back to Apple for one.

Lame.

 

Bingo, exactly what this was designed for imo, ill be ordering one soon.

 

They are going to make an adapter so you can use whatever headphones you want.

The in-ear buds will also work with the new shuffle and they are really damn good, I had a pair for a week before I decided I was just fed up with wires period.

Man the apple whiners never cease.

 

They should have made it clickable, the whole unit that is, to make like a giant earphone button. Next step is to just integrate the MP3 player into the headphone button so you just have to carry around headphones.

 

Boy could this statement be fixed a certain way...

 

No lock switch?

 

Why I didn't buy an ipod for 3 generations

 

there's no buttons.

 

yea. that's why i still take my 1g 4gb nano to the gym.

i wouldn't mind picking up the current nano though. those things look cool.

 

Nor do the Apple fanboys / apologists who eat up everything Apple releases. Looks like Jobs' RDF is in full effect.

 

little bastard is 100 bucks here stupid currency

 

I know it was a joke
