Apple Unveils New ‘Redesigned’ iPod Shuffle

The new iPod Shuffle adds clickable buttons for play/pause and fast forward as well as VoiceOver, which when pressed, will let users hear the name of the current song.

“We’re making the iPod shuffle even better by combining clickable buttons and VoiceOver technology, so users can find and enjoy their music without ever looking at their iPod shuffle,” said Steve Jobs.

Basically Jobs is admitting that the buttenless iPod Shuffle was a dumb idea and they are bringing back the last version which everyone loved.

The new 2GB iPod Shuffle is available to purchase on Apple’s Online Store for $49.

Apple’s September 1 Press Conference Predictions

Apple is holding a special media event this Wednesday at 10AM PDT. Although they haven’t given details on what will be announced, it’s obvious by the guitar on the building and invitations that it will be music related.

Here are a few things that will most likely be unveiled:

  • New iPod touch with Retina display and FaceTime capabilities
  • New iPod nano with a 3x3cm touch screen
  • Cloud-based iTunes

There are also rumors that Apple will announce a new iLife and iWork, but I’m not betting on it. And of course there’s the Apple TV which is rumored to be renamed to its original codename, iTV, and run iOS. With this being a music even, I don’t think the iTV will be announced, but I hope I’m wrong.

Leaked Details on 2010-2011 iPods, iPhone and iPad mini

iLounge, who has a good record of reporting Apple leaks, says that they heard about the upcoming late 2010/early 20 11 iPod, iPhone and iPad linups from “a highly reliable source.”

From iLounge:

1. New iPods. Apple apparently has three new iPods ready to go as early as this month, or as late as September. One is the new iPod nano, one is the new iPod touch, and the third one is a question mark, but may be a small (1.7”) touchscreen replacement for the iPod shuffle. There’s also continued chatter about a three-inch touchscreen that could make its way into an iPod, shaving half an inch off the diagonal of the current iPod touch. Read more

Concept of the Next iPod nano

This is a cool concept of what the 3x3cm Apple-branded touch screen that was leaked earlier could be for. I’m still hoping for the iWatch, but this would be nice too.

iPhone 4 is Faster than 3GS and Slower than iPad in Early Benchmarks

Benchmark tests show that the iPhone 4 is 31% faster than the iPhone 3GS, according to the Geekbench 2 app.  A few benchmarking utilities show that the iPhone 4 is slower than the iPad.  They both have the same Apple A4 processor, but it’s unclear if the iPhone 4 has been clocked at a slower speed than the iPad’s 1GHz.
