 Apple today introduced the new iPod shuffle, now the world’s smallest
digital music player with Apple’s pioneering shuffle feature that lets
music fans serve up a continuous mix of their favorite songs anywhere
they go. Nearly half the size of the original, the new iPod shuffle is
just half a cubic inch in volume, weighs just half an ounce and
features a stunning all-new aluminum design and a built-in clip which
makes it the most wearable iPod ever.
The new iPod shuffle contains one gigabyte of flash memory which holds up to 240 songs, and is more affordable than ever at just $79.
iPod shuffle is based on Apple’s super-popular shuffle feature which lets users enjoy their songs in a random order. Or listeners can simply flip a switch to listen to their songs in order, such as when listening to a new album. iPod shuffle features up to 12 hours of battery life.*
Users connect the new iPod shuffle to their Mac® or PC with the included dock, and iTunes’ innovative AutoFill feature automatically syncs the perfect number of songs from their music library. Seamless integration with iTunes® 7 and the iTunes Store (www.itunes.com) allows customers to choose from a selection of over 3.5 million songs from the world’s most popular digital music store.
Pricing & Availability
The new iPod shuffle is expected to be available worldwide in October through the Apple Store® (www.apple.com), Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers for $79 (US). iPod shuffle includes earbud headphones and an iPod shuffle Dock.
iPod shuffle requires a Mac with a USB 2.0 port and Mac OS® X version 10.3.9 or later and iTunes 7.0 or later; or a Windows PC with a USB 2.0 port and Windows 2000 (Service Pack 4), Windows XP Home or Professional (Service Pack 2) and iTunes 7.0 or later. Internet access is required and a broadband connection is recommended.
