Mac is totally cheating with its new ipod shuffle "the world's smallest" with autovoice. i'm a rabid apple fan, but here's a review of that new ipod shuffle nano mini micro itunes thingy... it looks like a pair of fingernail clippers.
since my local store didn't stock them today (it launched yesterday), i had to base this thoughtful review on the apple website facts (but i haven't read any other reviews).
this is cheating, apple! mac should focus on an enhanced appletv (and rebrand it) for better online-video surfing from the couch, and stop trying to make things smaller than bill gates and steve jobs' weiners.
the new ipod shuffle is just moving a part (buttons) from the body to the headphones. that's convenient, but first, displacement doesn't count. second, the headphones are now proprietary so a regular pair won't work, and you're sunk if you plug it into an amplifier via phono-to-patch cords.
the "personal announcer" is a glorified speak 'n spell. it's also empty of music and doesn't even have an fm radio or tape player.
and i forgot to mention that we'd like not to learn morse code to switch playlists.
use this video as you wish, but please source nalts, willvideoforfood, or kevinnalts.com.
