The Story Of My Life...

Apple’s iPod Shuffle redesign is small, tiny in fact. Literally. The new 1.8” tall x 0.3” thin dimensions house 4GB of storage with the controls moved to the earbud headphones (so don’t think about using your own).

The biggest introduction is their new VoiceOver feature:

VoiceOver is the exciting new feature that makes iPod shuffle the first music player that talks to you. It entirely changes the way you browse and navigate your music. Say you’re listening to a song and want to know the title or the artist. With the press of a button, VoiceOver tells you—without interrupting your music.

Oddly enough, Apple’s new design reminds us a bit of the spoof iPod Flea:

All in all, this update to the most entry level iPod could be trouble.

It looks like a lot of fun, but who still uses a device that only plays music? Where are the apps, the video, the movies, the weather, the video podcasts, the internet browser? >.<

I suppose it would come in handy when I’m running, but it’s not enough to make me wanna buy it. I have a shuffle but I barely use it. I rather use my 3rd gen ipod and an armband. Plus it’s too tiny… it would get lost way too easily.
