Apple never ceases to amaze with its stable of highly intuitive products. Recently launched is the third generation Shuffle, which by far is the best bang for the buck. Size wise, its a bit smaller than the last generation Shuffle, but packs 4x amount of space with 4 gigs. With the controls relocated near the right earbud, the base unit is given a minimal and sleek anodized aluminum body. The only button is located on top of the unit allowing the user to select shuffle, continual play or off. Aesthetics wise, I am completely sold on the stainless silver clip. The biggest sell point however is not only design. Rather with gen 3, Apple features VoiceOver. By pressing and holding the middle depressed button in the control center, you hear track info. Mac users get to listen to a Stephen Hawking like voice, while PC users can hear their track selection and/or play list from Mrs. Hawking. Thats right, gen 3 also receives syncing your individualized iTunes playlists. At $79, this is a no brainer cop. I’ve been wanting to get another iPod on top of my first gen touch for convenience sake.
