OMG! That was my first reaction to seeing that Apple had released a new updated version of the iPod Shuffle! Not only is the world’s smallest iPod even smaller than ever, but this time it has been packed with 4 GBs and uses VoiceOver software to talk to you. Because this model has been shrunken down, it now lacks manual controls on the device itself and control of your music has been moved to a small control on the specialty earbuds. With this new control you can start and stop your music, change the volume, change the playlist you are listening to, and hear the title of the track you are listening to! I am completely blown away, yet again! This sleek little device comes in two metal finishes, silver and black and is priced at $79. So far, no other configurations for capacity have been introduced, but a shuffle with 4 GBs of memory is a pretty great deal!

Dear Apple Users,
We here at Apple know you have a short attention span, so to help you with this our new IPod will have a feature to speak to you and tell you the name of the song you are currently listening too. We hope this helps.
