iPod Shuffle is now the world’s “smallest MP3 player”
Published September 12th, 2006 in Apple, Noteworthy, Technology
In Apple’s “It’s Showtime” event in San Francisco, a few hours earlier, they revealed the new iPod Shuffle. It is now a lot smaller, somewhere in the size of the radio adapter for the normal iPods, as you can see from the image above. It is also now made of anodized aluminium, just like the iPod nano/mini. With a built-in clip, it is 10mm thick and 41 by 27mm wide. That’s around 1.6 inches long. So it is tiny! It also includes the new headphones like the new iPod nano and the revamped box. It only comes in 1GB and the price is $79/£55. An interesting thing to not is that it doesn’t have a built-in USB port anymore, you have to use an included ‘dock’; which may seem strange, but that is one way they reduced the size so much!
I don’t really like the design so much. Sure it’s small, but the way they changed the look of it makes it look like something’s missing, or does it just look ‘too’ small. I’ll have to see for myself. What do you think?
