Apple iPod Shuffle (2GB)

Description
So little. And yet so much. The new iPod shuffle is jaw-droppingly small. It's half the size of the previous generation. Yet there's room for so much more. With 2GB of storage it now holds up to 500 songs, and lets you enjoy multiple playlists too. And now with the press of a button, the iPod shuffle tells you what song is playing and who's performing it. It can even tell you the names of your playlists, giving you a new way to navigate your music.

Features
To create the world's smallest music player, Apple has moved the controls from iPod shuffle to the earbud cord. This allowed us them make the new iPod shuffle dramatically smaller, but not just for dramatically smaller's sake. It's also easier to use, with the controls located where you can access them quickly.

The controls of the new iPod shuffle are located on the right earbud cord. With command central now strategically placed in this more convenient location, you can navigate your music - and activate the VoiceOver feature - without taking your eyes off your run, your ride or whatever you're doing.

There was a time when limited storage meant you had to leave a lot of your songs on the sync-room floor. But now that iPod shuffle has 2GB of storage, you have plenty of room to store hours and hours of music - up to 500 songs.* With room for multiple playlists, too.

Even the iPod shuffle clip receives the rock star treatment. Now forged in stainless steel, the clip attaches securely to your shirt, jacket, workout gear, even your backpack. And the sleek, durable, anodised aluminium case makes iPod shuffle a wardrobe essential.

Musically speaking, the new iPod shuffle is brilliant, thanks to an exciting new feature called VoiceOver. Say you're listening to a song and want to know the title or the artist. With the press of a button, VoiceOver tells you as the music dips down. It even announces the names of your playlists. And when your battery needs charging, VoiceOver tells you that, too.

You've probably made multiple playlists in iTunes. One for your commute. One for the gym. One for just chilling out. With the new iPod shuffle, you can sync your playlists and always find the perfect mix for your activity or mood. VoiceOver tells you the name of each playlist, so it's easy to switch between them and find the one you want without looking.

The shuffle switch has three positions. Flip it to the left and your music shuffles for a "whatever happens, happens" flow. Flip it to the middle and your songs play in order. Or flip to the right to turn it off.
