Apple's new iPod shuffle will be available in Apple's retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers this Friday, November 3. Nearly half the size of the original, the new iPod shuffle is half a cubic inch in volume, weighs half an ounce and features a minimal aluminum design with a built-in clip. The new iPod shuffle contains one gigabyte of flash memory, is priced at $79 and includes earbud headphones and an iPod shuffle dock.

Customers can order the iPod shuffle through the Apple Store.


"With its ultra-compact design and built-in clip, the new iPod shuffle is the most wearable iPod ever," said Greg Joswiak, Apple's vice president of Worldwide iPod Product Marketing. The new iPod shuffle completes our all-new lineup of iPods for this holiday season and beyond, and we hope it's going to be a huge hit."

The new iPod shuffle features up to 12 hours of battery life and is based on Apple's shuffle feature which lets music fans serve up a continuous mix of their favorite songs. Users can enjoy their songs in a random order or flip a switch to listen to their songs in order, such as when listening to a new album.

Users can connect the new iPod shuffle to their Mac or PC with the included dock, and iTunes' AutoFill feature automatically syncs the songs from their music library. Seamless integration with iTunes 7 and the iTunes Store allows customers to choose from a selection of over 3.5 million songs.

iPod shuffle requires a Mac with a USB 2.0 port and Mac OS X version 10.3.9 or later and iTunes 7.0.2 or later; or a Windows PC with a USB 2.0 port and Windows 2000 (Service Pack 4), Windows XP Home or Professional (Service Pack 2) and iTunes 7.0.2 or later.
