An iPod shuffle that talks?
2009
It’s just out. Apple has unveiled a new iPod Shuffle that can talk to you. Yup, it tells you what songs and playlist it is playing. It’s great if you’re driving or running on the trackmill.
I haven’t seen the product yet, but reading the story on appleinsider.com there’re a couple of things I like about this new iPod Shuffle. First, the clip, it looks it’ll secure better than the previous one. Second, locating the buttons on the earphone is a great idea. Makes controls more accessible. No more fumbling around.
Also the price US$79, should work out to be about $150-$160. I think it’s affordable for 1000 songs. If I get one, I’ll use it more for podcasts which I listen to a lot. Now decision making time: black or silver?
I had hoped that the big announcement would be a slim netbook but I’m reminded again and again – by Apple people no less – that Steve Jobs had said that netbooks were a nascent industry and Tim Cook, acting CEO said recently, the company was just studying this segment closely.
I’m not holding my breath for netbook announcement at WWDC coming up in June. The iPhone rumour went on for about 3 years before it became a product. Hopefully we don’t have to wait three years for the slim netbook.
