 AppleComputer's new iPod shuffle will be available in Apple's retail stores
and Apple Authorized Resellers this Friday, November 3. 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 minimal aluminum
design with a built-in clip. The new iPod shuffle contains one gigabyte
of flash memory which holds up to 240 songs, and is priced at just $79.
The new iPod shuffle features up to 12 hours of battery life* and is based on Apple's pioneering shuffle feature which lets music fans serve up a continuous mix of their favorite songs anywhere they go. Users can enjoy their songs in a random order or simply flip a switch to listen to their songs in order, such as when listening to a new album.
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.
With Apple's legendary ease of use, pioneering features such as integrated podcasting support, iMix playlist sharing, seamless integration with iPod and groundbreaking personal use rights, the iTunes Store is the best way for Mac and PC users to legally discover, purchase and download music and video online.
