    Apple has spearheaded the touchscreen phenomenon with the iPhone. While it's still in its early stages, the 3rd generation iPod shuffle could very well be Apple's way of experimenting with voice technology as another way of interacting with a device. All things are possible and for all we know, the VoiceOver technology could one day reach a point where one can just utilize a voice command to play the track that's stuck in your head right now.

    Apple has announced a new iPod shuffle today that will not only play your music but speaks the track names, artists and album titles to you as well... If you like your electronics on the tiny size you'll love the new shuffle which is now smaller than a AA battery and comes with a clip built into the casing to attach to your clothing. Read more

    I bought this about two days ago and I am glad I did. I didn't like the provided earphones too much so I went and purchased belkins adapter for $20 (even though it should have been included) and that improved the whole expereience. I bought it as I am a high school student and my ipod touch is a bit too large an expensive to be taking to school. I would recommend that anyone who wants a second simple mp3 player should take a good look at this offerning. Read more
