Apple today introduced the all-new iPod Shuffle, the world’s smallest music player at nearly half of the size of the previous model, and the first music player that talks to you. The revolutionary new VoiceOver feature enables iPod shuffle to speak your song titles, artists and playlist names. The third generation iPod shuffle holds up to 1,000 songs (4GB capacity) and is easier to use with all of the controls conveniently located on the earphone cord. With the press of a button, you can play, pause, adjust volume, switch playlists and hear the name of the song and artist. iPod shuffle features a gorgeous new aluminum design with a built-in stainless steel clip that makes it ultra-wearable.

The VoiceOver feature not only tells song information but also status information, such as battery life. iPod shuffle can speak 14 languages including English, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish.

The third generation 4GB iPod shuffle is now shipping and comes in silver or black for a suggested price of $79 through the Apple online Store, Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers. You can watch the new iPod shuffle in action in this video.
