Apple announces new iPod shuffle
Yes, it’s that time of the year again. Apple has just announced some brand new iPod’s and our first serving is the iPod shuffle. The new shuffle brings back the buttons removed in the current model, has a 15 hour battery, comes in 5 colours and is $69AUD. You can preorder it today or when it ships next week.
Rumour: Apple to hold iPod refresh event this month?
RUMOUR MILL: Well, way to break tradition. Apple is rumoured to be holding an iPod-centric event way sooner than its traditional September timeframe.
Well, that’s according to a Brazilian publication MacMagazine is reporting on Friday, citing a reliable source within Apple.
iPod shuffle drops to $79, gets colours
Despite removing the colours from the shuffle when it changed it to just a thin aluminium block, Apple has announced a change to its shuffle product that will have colours and a new 2GB model, along with the current 4GB. The colours have been announced as silver, black, pink, blue and green. Also announced was the addition of third part manufacturers to build headphones for the iPod shuffle with remotes, as the controls are now on the headphones themselves and not on the player.
The chocolate skin for the iPod shuffle
So, why would we be writing a story about chocolate? Is it a new machine? Well, no – but it would excite you. This, readers of the site, is the ChocoShuffle; and no, it isn’t a iPod shuffle dipped in chocolate. It is, however, just a skin for your iPod shuffle to make you think that you dipped your shuffle in chocolate. Confusing?
Who needs the iPod shuffle when you have this…
This may be just a small metallic block, but it supposed to be an audio player with a “monochrome black-and-white” OLED screen, and it supposed to have other functions that we don’t even know about. Called the ICOO V616, it only costs $15 for just 2GB, or 99 yuan.
Apple brings out new iPod shuffle – memory upgraded
Apple has quietly brought out the third generation iPod shuffle, which features a revamped aluminium look (with the clip, so its wearable). But though it lacks a screen, it compensates it with its new “VoiceOver” feature, which allows it to read the song’s information and playlist titles.
The iPod shuffle concept looks like a Nano wristwatch
It’s brilliant, yet its obviously not something Apple would make. This is a concept of what one Japanese designer thought the iPod shuffle should be like, and it looks like a iPod nano wristwatch – without the widescreen. What’s weird is that it is totally practical, as wearing it on your wrist is kind of better than wearing it on your shirt – just make sure you don’t look like a metrosexual.
