The smallest iPod yet is now on sale. The new iPod Shuffle goes for$79. It's about the size of a book of matches, and comes with a built-in clip for attaching to your clothes. The Shuffle will hold about 240 songs, and will play music for up to 12 hours between charges. Analysts say it should be a hot seller, possibly at the expense of the more capable iPod Nano, which starts at $149.
Jeremy Horwitz, editor-in-chief of iLounge, a news and review site dedicated to the iPod and related products, says the new Shuffle has the same limitation as the old one: no screen and no ability to choose a specific song.
