RSSThe new iPod shuffle talks to you!
Apple have released a new version of their smallest iPod, the iPod shuffle. Not only is it the worlds smallest music player, it’s also the first one that talks.
Voice Over
Talks you say? That’s right, when you press the centre button on the new earbuds, a voice will say the track name and artist of the song you are currently listening to. Then, holding the centre button in for a couple of seconds, it will start repeating the names of your playlists and by tapping the centre button when it mentions a playlist, will take you to that specific playlist.
As super cool and futuristic this may all sound, without actually testing it myself, I have no idea if it actually works as well as Apple say it does. Then again, this is Apple we are talking about, so my money is on it being a success.
The new iPod shuffle comes in 2 colours, black and silver and has a 4GB capacity that can carry around 1000 songs. It connects to your Mac or PC via a USB cable that plugs into the earphone port much the same way as the previous iPod shuffle did. Playback time is around 10 hours when fully charged, which is pretty decent considering its size!
No news just yet on when the new iPod shuffle will be hitting our shores, but be sure to stay tuned as I’ll have a full review of when the shuffle when it does!
