Apple’s New iPod Shuffle: Small Gets Smaller
Apparently, the iPod Shuffle wasn’t small enough for Apple. Today, Apple is introducing its next-generation iPod Shuffle, which is almost half the size of the previous model and with double the capacity of 4GB. Apple was able to make it smaller than ever by moving the controls onto the earphone cord. What’s more, is that the new Shuffle has text-to-speech ability to tell you what song, artist or playlist you are playing. Apple calls it VoiceOver.

I like this but I already have two ipods. Do I need another one?

That’s a good point. I don’t think Apple is going to sell a lot of these. Most people already have an iPod or iPods. But hey, it makes a great gift for X’mas! Wait… that’s still 9 months away. Oh well, you can look for people’s birthdays then!
