Shuffle Talks Back

It is small yet big! It’s loud and it talks back! And the best thing is that it is available now at the Apple store! Feast your eyes and ears on the new 4 GB iPod shuffle with VoiceOver technology, I can’t, I don’t and how… arrggh! I don’t even know where to begin to describe how cool the new Apple’s iPod shuffle is. For starters, it’s slimmer and sexier than your girl next door, with a dimension of 1.8” x 0.3” and a weight of only 10.7 grams — it is the true lightweight of music players. The 4 GB storage can hold around 1000 songs and is supported by its rechargeable lithium polymer battery with up to 10 hours of playback time. With this small but terrible Apple toy, you’re in for a long audio experience. The main feature of this hot baby is the VoiceOver, it literally talks to tell you the song title, artist, playlist name, and even the iPod’s status like the battery life. Like your iPod in your native language? Don’t worry, it comes in 14 different languages including Chinese and French for more of that ooh la la voice. Most of the controls can be found on the earphone chord for more accessibility. So tata for now! I have an iPod shuffle to buy.
