Apple's newest and the most refined iPod has just hit the music market with a sheer promise to live up to the ever-growing expectations of music lovers. Well, this new performer is the Apple iPod Shuffle, which is endowed with all those dream functionalities, which you would surely love to have.

The most striking thing about this gadget is that it is the slimmest iPod and it does not come with any real display. Yes, there is a small tri-colour led to indicate its basic functionalities. Currently, this powerhouse of music is available in five different colours, but you can expect some more colours in future. The most important aspect of any iPod is its memory and this superb gizmo is endowed with 1GB of space –the best you can expect from such a slim device. This iPod is not only shortened on its size, but it also comes with a reasonable price –well within the reach of innumerable users all across the globe.

When it comes to looks, the Apple iPod Shuffle looks like a small matchbox. Actually, it is a small media player. And, when you compare this tiny thing with others, you would find that it is a bit larger than the popular nano's screen. In music controls, you get a common ''scroll wheel'', which does not offer any scrolling functionalities. Actually, you have to press down either on the top or bottom to adjust the volume – the way you want. On the other hand, you have to press it on the right or left to move forward of backward with your tracks. If you press in the middle this will enforce pause. Its new docking mechanism allows you to plug in a USB dock to transfer all your favourite music. Enjoying all your favourite music, just cannot get easier than this.
