Subject: [AI] Apple Announces Incredible New iPod shuffle

CUPERTINO, California—March 11, 2009—Apple® today introduced the all-new iPod® 
shuffle, the world’s smallest music player at nearly half of the size of the 
previous model, and the first music player that talks to you. The revolutionary 
new VoiceOver feature enables iPod shuffle to speak your song titles, artists 
and playlist names. The third generation iPod shuffle is significantly smaller 
than a AA battery, holds up to 1,000 songs and is easier to use with all of the 
controls conveniently located on the earphone cord. With the press of a button, 
you can play, pause, adjust volume, switch playlists and hear the name of the 
song and artist. iPod shuffle features a gorgeous new aluminum design with a 
built-in stainless steel clip that makes it ultra-wearable. 

“Imagine your music player talking to you, telling you your song titles, 
artists and playlist names,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of iPod 
and iPhone™ Product Marketing. “The amazingly small new iPod shuffle takes a 
revolutionary approach to how you listen to your music by talking to you, also 
making it the first iPod shuffle with playlists.” 

iPod shuffle is based on Apple’s incredibly popular shuffle feature, which 
randomly selects songs from your music library. And now, when you can’t 
remember the name of a song or an artist playing, with the press of a button 
iPod shuffle tells you the name of the song and artist. iPod shuffle can even 
tell you status information, such as battery life. With the ability to hold up 
to 1,000 songs and the VoiceOver feature, you can now easily switch between 
multiple playlists on your iPod shuffle. iPod shuffle can speak 14 languages 
including English, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, 
Mandarin Chinese, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. 

The new iPod shuffle comes in silver or black and features a sleek and 
ultra-wearable design with a built-in stainless steel clip. iPod shuffle is the 
smallest music player in the world and is incredibly easy to clip to almost 
anything and take with you everywhere you go. iPod shuffle features up to 10 
hours of battery life.*

The third generation 4GB iPod shuffle is now shipping and comes in silver or 
black for a suggested price of $79 (US) through the Apple Store® 
(www.apple.com), Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers. iPod 
shuffle comes with the Apple Earphones with Remote and the iPod shuffle USB 
cable. iPod shuffle requires a Mac® with a USB 2.0 port, Mac OS® X v10.4.11 or 
later and iTunes® 8.1 or later; or a Windows PC with a USB 2.0 port and Windows 
Vista, Windows XP Home or Professional (Service Pack 3) or later and iTunes
