Can you imagine an iPod shuffle ‘talking’? Apple has recently come up with the launch of a new ‘talking’ version of its iPod shuffle music player. The USP of this gadget is that it speaks out the names of the songs loudly for you.
“Imagine your music player talking to you, telling you your song titles, artists and playlist names,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of iPod and iPhone product marketing. “The new iPod shuffle is the world’s smallest music player and takes a revolutionary approach to how you listen to your music by talking to you, also making it the first iPod shuffle with playlists.”
“We’ve rejected the idea of a screen on all our iPod shuffles, because you can only really fit a one- or two-line display and keep the size small,” said Mr Joswiak. “We don’t think that’s a very good way to navigate your music collection. With the new shuffle and VoiceOver, you get all the benefits of the display without having to have one. It’s the best of both worlds.”
Here are some of the features of this shuffle:
- Made up of stainless steel
- Has the capacity to store up to 1000 songs
- Offers 10 hours of music playback
- Can speak in 14 different languages (That’s perfect)
- Offers a memory of 4GB
- Available in two colors: Black and Silver
“They’ll be introducing headphones that have the controller integrated into their headphone design,” he said. “There will also be adapter cables available, so you can use your existing headphones with the new shuffle too.”
It is available at a price tag of £59.
