Apple iPod Shuffle
by Eugene Kan, March 11, 2009
Likened to the member of the family nobody really cares about, like Macaulay Caulkin in Home Alone, Apple has quietly released a new version of their flash-based iPod Shuffle. The screen-less player is no frills, no gimmicks and just straight up shuffle. However this generation’s update has been officially deemed the current smallest music player on the market. However with no screen, Apple implement a new VoiceOver function which allows the player to tell you what song, artist and album are currently playing. Control is done via a headphone switch with an accessory also to release to allow 3rd party headphones. The 4GB verison will hold approximately 1,000 songs and have a suggested retail price of $79 USD.

You don’t need Apple headphones to use this device.
how do you change the song?
usb to headphone jack, thats how it connects dumb thing is you have to use supplied headphone, because the controls are on the right cable
yea clips on back
i’ll be giving this a miss
Bless
there is obviously a clip or else it would not be on the jacket there there are clear photos of the clip on the back.
i think the need to step it up already and stop pussyfootin it. im talking about wireless ear buds and a ipod that doubles as a pen,
let us know when it pops off

PROPER.
how does this plug into the comp.?
horrible.
it’s funny how they try and make it look cooler with
the denim jacket.
the jacket gets my money.
wow, fail for apple.
Going with the 1gen iphone headphone jack.
At least have the apple headphone jack if the headphones supplied actually sounded good.
The thing that sucks is that you need to use Apple ear phones with these. I don’t like the ipod earphones that much. I like my sonys because they fit snug in my ear and the bass is alot warmer.
This is a size of a USB. thats awesome, but like my USB very easy to loose.
well this is pretty dope! and with 4 gb,i’m gettin these. fuck the lcd screen, i want my player for music only! should have been in all black matte color though.
79 dollars for 4 g is siq
Having a voiceover when you’re listening to the song is going to be fucking annoying.
who asked if there was a clip? what does it look like… (sigh)
I imagine they’ll be pretty easy to lose… look at that thing it looks like a piece of candy.
Definitely not seeing the practically, Shuffle = discontinued by next year
Is there a clip? THat was essential on the last Shuffle!
Thumb drive with an apple engraving and a headphone jack.
The sixth picture looks like Johnny-Five.
