Last night, Apple refreshed its iPod Shuffle. The 3rd generation Shuffle has again shed off some skin (at 0.3″ wide) as well as the control buttons which might get users frustrated.
The iPod Shuffle’s transformation reminds me of Juicy Fruit (the chewing gum). Standard capacity is now at 4GB (about 1,000 songs) and features a battery life of 10 hours. It has a new VoiceOver feature that tells you the name of the song that’s playing and the artist at a click of a button.
The controls have been shed off and were moved to the earphones. That means you can not hook it up with a 3rd party headphones or a sound system since there are no controls on the device.
iPod shuffle comes with the Apple Earphones with Remote and the iPod shuffle USB cable; now shipping from the Apple Store for Php4,190 and comes in Silver or Black. The jury is still out so I’m waiting for that review unit Apple is sending in next week.

It’s really sleek — smaller than a lighter. Sobrang astig.
My only worry is that it’s too small, it could be easily be lost — if that’s a valid concern. hehe

hehe thanks sir abe
This has to be the worst stupid iPod to date. The VoiceOver is obviously nothing more than a gimmick. I can’t imagine how that can be easier than just having a small screen. And to make things worse, you can only use this thing using their horrible earbuds! It’s amazing how Apple can get away with mediocre stuff like this.
I agree with Patrick…
Its sleek-looking but the features are not that flashy. Its not a good deal for making it in 4K mark. Im disappointed, a small display can be more attractive.
not being able to use your own earphones suck.
no buttons=fail
What if the earphones got lost or destroyed?
hehe
Apple hit another homerun. The only serious concern is that a small child could easily swallow this.
my only concern is if these new features are worth your money? who needs a talking ipod? or are we paying for a feature that we don’t use anyway. check my opinion here:

Soon, it will be the most MISPLACED gadget of
all times.
If now swallowed by your nephew or niece . . it
will be stepped upon by your granddad or grandma.
He he he he!
