Apple Computer will reportedly start selling the smallest version of its iPod Shuffle, and the world's smallest digital music player, tomorrow onwards.
The company says this new iPod Shuffle, which is 1.62-inches long - about the size of a matchbox, holds up to 240 songs, and like the original, does not have a display to show what it is playing.
Around half the size of the original that was introduced in January 2005, the small Shuffle is all of 14 grams, includes 1-gigabyte of storage, has a built-in clip for portability, with the battery being able to last for around 12 hours.
In a statement, Greg Joswiak, vice president, Apple, said that with this Shuffle s ultra-compact design and built-in clip, it is going to be the most wearable iPod ever. The tiny Shuffle completes Apple's all new line-up of iPods for the holiday season and beyond.
The new iPod Shuffle is based on the company's pioneering Shuffle feature that serves up a continuous mix of favorite songs to music lovers, wherever they might go. Besides, users can enjoy songs in a random order, or simply flip a switch to listen to songs in a particular order like they would do whilst listening to a new album.
The small Shuffle can be connected to a Mac or PC with included dock and iTunes' AutoFill feature that automatically syncs the correct number of songs from a user's music library.
Meanwhile, the tiny piece of work is priced at $79 (Rs 3,555), comes with earbud phones and a dock, and will go on sale through Apple retail stores, the online Apple Store, and Apple Authorized Resellers.

This is exactly what I have always wanted. A tiny, portable piece of plastic that music comes out of. I only wish it were smaller. I want it so small, that it fits inside the ear buds them selves.

it would be better with a screen- i dont really care about the size-any ipod is better than a CD player!

A small display wouldn't hurt. It might not take off in a big way unless it can maybe light a cigarette also :)
