New Apple iPod Shuffle and upgrading to one with a voice

Yesterday saw the release of a new Apple iPod Shuffle that comes with a host of new features, such as VoiceOver. The new Shuffle does have a few other new features, but it is the new voice feature that Apple hope will help to sell the new iPod Shuffle.

Let us look at a some of the upgrades that the new Shuffle has, firstly the device is much smaller. Apple have managed to make this the world’s smallest player by putting the controls on the earbud cord.

Storage has now been increased to 4GB, allowing you to store up to 1,000 songs. The new shuffle has one switch on its side with three positions, shuffle, straight play or off.

The main new feature is VoiceOver, if you are listing to a song and you want to know who the artist is, just hit the button and the information will be spoken to you.

We have a poll running asking if these improvements will be enough to make you upgrade, view result below. To vote click here
