The Mind of Dr. Mac

Apple announced a new and improved iPod shuffle this morning. The world’s smallest music player is now nearly half of the size of its predecessor. And, as far as I know, it’s the first music player that talks to you, speaking song titles, artists, and playlist names. Smaller than a AA battery, the third generation iPod shuffle (shuffle 3G) can hold up to 1,000 songs and has all of its controls on the earphone cord as shown below.

In my other life as Reviews Director for the iPod Observer I get to test a lot of cases for iPhones and iPods. One of my favorites, perhaps even my very favorite, is the Luxe case from iFrogz.
