In response to their rival from Microsoft, Apple introduced the iPod portable version of the iPod Shuffle, its target audience is those who have been refused to buy because of the high prices at MacWorld in San Francisco annual meeting in January 2005. The price is just $ 99. About the new iPod Shuffle, Apple adopted a simplified approach. The player even smaller than a box of gum, and add the two most unique features: music tracks display and browse the scroll wheel.
Apple also introduced both to store music and can store photos iPod photo, and add some digital music design to make consumers play digital music in their own home or car stereo. At the same time, Apple is also expanding its retail outlets.
