How To Tell Which iPod You Have?

SAN FRANCISCO - September 12, 2006 - Apple today introduced the new iPod shuffle, now the world's smallest digital music player with Apple's pioneering shuffle feature that lets music fans serve up a continuous mix of their favorite songs anywhere they go. Nearly half the size of the original, the new iPod shuffle is just half a cubic inch in volume, weighs just half an ounce and features a stunning all-new aluminum design and a built-in clip which makes it the most wearable iPod ever. The new iPod shuffle contains one gigabyte of flash memory which holds up to 240 songs, and is more affordable than ever at $79.

It's hard to believe the new iPod is a real music player when you first see it," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "But it is real, and holds up to 240 songs in an incredibly compact and wearable design that weighs just half an ounce."

iPod shuffle is based on Apple's super-popular shuffle feature which lets users enjoy their songs in a random order. Or listeners can simply flip a switch to listen to their songs in order, such as when listening to a new album. iPod shuffle features up to 12 hours of battery life.*

Users connect the new iPod shuffle to their Mac or PC with the included dock, and iTunes' innovative AutoFill feature automatically syncs the perfect number of songs from their music library. Seamless integration with iTunes 7 and the iTunes Store allows customers to choose from a selection of over 3.5 million songs from the world's most popular digital music store.

The new iPod shuffle is expected to be available worldwide in October through the Apple Store, Apple's retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers for $79 (US). iPod shuffle includes earbud headphones and an iPod shuffle Dock.

iPod shuffle requires a Mac with a USB 2.0 port and Mac OS X version 10.3.9 or later and iTunes 7.0 or later; or a Windows PC with a USB 2.0 port and Windows 2000 (Service Pack 4), Windows XP Home or Professional (Service Pack 2) and iTunes 7.0 or later. Internet access is required and a broadband connection is recommended.

* Battery life and number of charge cycles vary by use and settings. See http://www.apple.com/batteries for more information. Music capacity is based on four minutes per song and 128-Kbps AAC encoding; actual capacity varies by content.

Play iPod's Movies In Dvd Quality On A Tv

HomeDock Deluxe now lets iPod owners enjoy their new iTunes movies on their home television and entertainment systems in DVD quality resolution.

With Apple® Computer's recent announcement of its new iTunes movie service, the DLO HomeDock Deluxe's impact on an iPod owner's ability to enjoy all that an iPod has to offer is greatly enhanced. Notably, now that Apple's iTunes movies and TV shows feature higher resolutions (640 x 480), the HomeDock Deluxe will play a person's movies or video from an iPod on a big-screen TV at near-DVD quality. It does this while giving owners the ability to control their iPod's video from the sofa with an included full-function remote control.

The HomeDock Deluxe also adds a new twist to the iPod by displaying music content onto a television screen and allowing users to navigate, select and play their songs using an included remote control. The HomeDock Deluxe simply connects to a person's TV and home stereo via standard A/V cables or S-video cable, and allows control of iPod's iTunes movies, television shows and videos, photo slideshows and, of course, music - all from the comfort of the couch. Browsing through Playlists, Artists, Albums, Songs, Genres and more from the sofa with the HomeDock Deluxe is a completely new experience for iPod owners. Users can control over 14 playback functions with the remote control.

The HomeDock Deluxe features an original, customizable interface. It even has screensavers to prevent plasma burn. Song information is large and easy to read from anywhere in the room. The HomeDock Deluxe has two distinct modes: On-Screen Navigation Mode for music interface on a TV and iPod Mode to play movies, videos or photo slideshows on a TV directly from the iPod. A person can quickly switch modes on their HomeDock Deluxe with a push of a button to watch and control videos and photo slideshows from an iPod on their television, or browse and play their music with on-screen navigation.
