Ipod Shuffle available Friday
Apple will launch its new iPod shuffle on Friday, the company said Tuesday.
The player, which Steve Jobs showed off at its most recent product launch in September, will contain a gigabyte of flash memory — enough for 240 songs, Apple said — and will be priced at $79.
“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, in a statement. 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.”
Users can either listen to the songs in random order, or, by flipping a switch, they can listen to them in order.
