Apple release 4GB iPod Shuffle which talks.

No buttons eh? I predict their next Shuffle will have no user interactivity at all: It'll just be a very small box which doesn't do anything, retailing at around £100.

Because some people don't know what the music they own sounds like.

They should make one that can sing along to your tracks in different karaoke styles. "Drunken Middle-aged Woman" "Egotistical Chav" etc. I have to admire the portability of shuffles (these new ones and the previous generation) but wouldn't have one because of my awful memory for lists and massive music collection. I like a visible menu, as I suspect most people do.
 
I was always against the shuffles until someone gave me one as a present. No replacement for my meaty iPod (and now iPhone...) but the randomness wasn't at all annoying so long as I fed it from a well chosen playlist and it was so small and convenient that it was perfect for traveling light.

Maybe someone will give me a new one as a present one day too and I'll fall in love all over again.

I'd buy that; wouldn't you?

Hearing my favorite songs sang in different styles.


Anyway; My rule is "Apple Generally Suck" so I use a Sony Walkman anyway 8)

Sucks though cause of my ear problems I'm no longer allowed to use headphones so- all these things are pointless. =/
 
Ipod touch...the first and only Ipod i saw was worth buying.
(i gave it up for lent....it now lives in my work bag calling out to me to save it....to atleast charge it.....but i can't...)

I understand what this is about....your sat there listening to your music....a guy gets asked what song he's listening to by the guy sat 3 seats away because even he can hear it pounding away.....the ipod holder's brain has become mush from such a pounding that he doesn't know the answer.....the ipod can then use a simple voice over to tell him the answer.

unless your being asked about what song your listening to and you've recently updated a bunch of random songs you can't rememeber or you've stolen the ipod off a blind man....then this piece of kit is pointless ¬_¬

I see the iPod Touch as yet another waste of money.

The only good iPods were the first gen iPods and iPod Minis.
