CUPERTINO, CA. – Apple Computer announced on Tuesday that the second generation of its iPod Shuffle will be available globally Nov. 3.
The 1-gigabyte screenless iPod, which retails for $79, has been the subject of much fan speculation because of Apple CEO Steve Jobs’ claim that it’s the world’s smallest digital-audio player-it’s half a cubic inch in volume, CNET News.Com reported.
The new Shuffle was announced as part of an Apple “special event” in September. Jobs originally stated that the little music player would ship in October, but when most of the month went by without a definite release date, enthusiasts began to wonder what had happened to it.
