HP launches iPod shuffle

HP today added the Apple iPod shuffle to its digital audio player lineup. Two models are offered: the 512MB version for $99.99 and the 1GB version for $129.99.

The Apple iPod shuffle from HP, the most affordable iPod to date, allows users to experience their music a million different ways. Smaller and lighter than a pack of gum, the Apple iPod shuffle from HP comes with its own lanyard, so it's ready to wear right out of the box.

The Apple iPod shuffle from HP works seamlessly with the AutoFill feature of iTunes, which automatically selects songs from a user's music library to fill up the shuffle with just one click.

Users can conveniently charge and transfer music from their PC by plugging the Apple iPod shuffle from HP directly into a USB port. The device also doubles as a portable USB flash drive to back up personal files or exchange them between computers.
