iTunes offers some new features for iPod Shuffle
The third generation iPod Shuffle has a polished steel attachment clip.
The product was launched on September 5, 2007, at an event called The Beat Goes
On. The iPod Touch and the iphone, a smartphone by Apple Inc., share the same hardware platform and run the same iOS
operating system. The iPod Touch lacks some of the
iPhone's features and associated apps, such as
access to cellular networks (and speaker on older models).
As a result, the iPod Touch is slimmer and lighter than the iphone. Multimedia, which is
available as a single "iPod" app on the iphone, is split into
music and movies on the iPod Touch. Steve Jobs once
referred to the iPod Touch as "training wheels for the
iphone“.
