Today, Apple announced the introduction of it’s all new iPod Shuffle. Redesigned, it is smaller than a AA battery and can actually speak your song titles to you with the new VoiceOver feature so you know what you’re listening to. For those who stayed away from previous Shuffle models due to the lack of display, this should come as great news. Here’s more from the Apple press release:
CUPERTINO, California—March 11, 2009—Apple® today introduced the all-new iPod® shuffle, the world’s smallest music player at nearly half of the size of the previous model, and the first music player that talks to you. The revolutionary new VoiceOver feature enables iPod shuffle to speak your song titles, artists and playlist names. The third generation iPod shuffle is significantly smaller than a AA battery, holds up to 1,000 songs and is easier to use with all of the controls conveniently located on the earphone cord. With the press of a button, you can play, pause, adjust volume, switch playlists and hear the name of the song and artist. iPod shuffle features a gorgeous new aluminum design with a built-in stainless steel clip that makes it ultra-wearable.

Apple continues to quietly roll out these new releases, I wonder what happened to all the hoopla that used to accompany Apple’s new/upgraded products? Could it be that they’re holding back for a big new release? A MacBook touch perhaps? :-)

Charlie: I certainly hope so. I’d love to see a Macbook Touch come out.

TechBlizz: Thanks for stopping by and for the compliment. I took a second to check out your blog. It’s very bright and the design is pretty clean, but you should make the background of the AdSense ads match the container they’re in.

Would you have to train it to your voice? Or does it just talk to you. i think the Shuffle didn’t work cause you couldn’t see what you were playing. Why would one that talks make it any better then you have to listen instead of scroll? Is a display too expensive to put on a small device? Why did they ignore the fact that people wanted to SEE what was there, not that they could hear what was there.

honestly, is there a big market for this? i own an iPod Touch and one of the shuffles before this (second gen?) and they are fine! The price for the new talking shuffle is quite a lot for the amount of storage you get, and although the idea is great and it seems like a step forward, will many people actually be buying them?
