The new iPod shuffle welcomes back the clickwheel and buttons just in time for the new iPod nano to ditch them for its multitouch maker. The new model comes off like a hybrid of the previous two versions and we’ve rounded up all the details after the break…
The new iPod shuffle comes in one capacity (2GB), is still incredibly tiny and reverts back to its old square form factor. There’s a clip that’ll please the joggers and the return of the clickwheel could make it the iPod weapon of choice for gym-goers now the new iPod nano has been seduced by touch.
The return of tactile controls hasn’t killed off VoiceOver which is nestled within the new iPod shuffle allowing you to speak the song title, artist or playlist name in one of 25 languages. We’ll be asking for Led Zeppelin in Spanish.
Apple promises the new iPod shuffle will give you 15 hours of playback and it’s still churning them out in a range of five different colours (we’re plumping for the blue).
The new iPod shuffle is up for pre-order now for £39 and is shipping next week. We’re hunting one down for some hands-on time right now and will have a review for you imminently.
