Apple updates iPod Shuffle 'VoiceOver' software

Apple has announced the release of a firmware update for their recently released iPod Shuffle Voice.

The update should fix a few minor, but noticeable items.



The new 17MB download will install VoiceOver version 1.0.1 and will correct the gross mispronunciations for several artist's names. Apple did not elaborate on what other bugs were fixed.
