Apple iPod shuffle Set For Nov 3 Launch

Although it was announced in September, Apple Computer is now set to roll out its redesigned, super-diminuative 1 GB iPod shuffle music player at Apple retail stores and authorized resellers this Friday, November 3. Weighing just half an ounce, measuring just 1.62 inches in length (and less than half a cubic inch in volume), sporting an integrated clip and an attractive $79 price tag, the shiny new aluminum shuffle might just be a holiday hit this year.

The new iPod shuffle offers 1 GB of flash storage capacity, up to 12 hours of battery life, and uses Aple’s “shuffle” feature to let music fans skip around a continuous mix of their favorite music selections. Users can listen to songs in order or on a random shuffle using a switch—like its predecessor, the iPod shuffle offers no display or menu system. Users load up the player using Apple’s iTunes jukebox software.

Hyundai is on a roll. In October, the South Korean manufacturer posted its best U.S. sales ever, largely driven by sales of its popular Ioniq 5 electric SUV.

Now, all eyes are on the Ioniq 5’s 2025 model, which is set to become available at dealerships before year-end. As Digital Trends previously reported, the crossover model adds a more rugged-looking trim level called XRT and provides additional driving range as well as new charging options.

Range Rover, the brand made famous for its British-styled, luxury, all-terrain SUVs, is keen to show it means business about going electric.

And, according to the most recent investor presentation by parent company JLR, that’s all because Range Rover fans are showing the way. Not only was demand for Range Rover’s hybrid vehicles up 29% in the last six months, but customers are buying hybrids “as a stepping stone towards battery electric vehicles,” the company says.
