The Next Generation iPod Is Also World’s Smallest Music Player

Apple’s new generation iPod Shuffle is also dimensionally the smallest music player. The 1.8″ X 0.3″ X 0.7″ device is smaller than a thumbdrive and comparable to an ordinary padlock key. This has been achieved by shifting all controls of the device, from the device to the ear buds.

The right ear-bud cord has the buttons that provide basic functionality: volume up/down, play / pause, go-to-next and go-to-previous track. Plus, the gadget now boasts a new feature – it can tell you the title and artist of the song being played, using the VoiceOver technology. The VoiceOver technology also lets you know when the battery is weakening and needs to be charged.

The sleek device also now comes built in with 4GB of storage, which means that up to 1,000 songs can be loaded in one go. Songs can be bunched into multiple playlists and each list can be appropriately named. The VoiceOver technology tells you the name of each playlist, so you can select the appropriate bunch of songs you would like to listen to at any point of time.

The iPod can now be fastened securely to one’s clothing with the help of a clip whose surface can be engraved. The engraving process is carried out by the App Store when customers place their orders online.
