Apple | iPod | Steve Jobs

iPod nano 2 iPod nanoApple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled a new iPod nano that lets users shuffle songs by shaking the device.

 

Not content with the so-called “shake to shuffle” feature, Jobs also boasted that the nano is the thinnest and cleanest iPod Apple has ever made, calling it “highly recyclable,” “mercury free” and … um … “toxic free.”

The 8-gigabyte model costs $149 and the 16-gigabyte version costs $199.

Sandisk was first with the Sansa Shaker, this is a rip off of that products shake ‘n’ shuffle technology.

I have a 160 Gigabyte iPod Classic and I like being able to carry most of my music library with me too much to ever consider a little 8 or 16 Gig unit,…no matter HOW pretty they are. Capacity Rules!

Did he claim to be the lead inventor on this one aswell? the patent for the iphone says it was invented by Steve Jobs et al…. I wonder how he has time to invent anything these days with all his journalist abusing sessions and flying from conference to conference pulling computers out of manila envelopes
