Is it just me? It seems Apple and their cohorts think that by sticking an iPod dock and i- infront of the name you have a cool product. This is from a company that couldn't even come up with an original name (The Beatles Apple Corps was well established when Jobs & co came along) , and nicked their orginal GUI computer interface ideas from Xerox!
T

ake the
iPig and
iPanda , both the sort of thing you'd find in a cheap electronics shop

and normally wouldnt give a second glance to , but because you can connect your i-thing to it then you'll happily shell out £50 or so to be ripped off, It'll probably last as long as a Christmas Turkey , but and least you can eat the turkey.
And another thing , why is everyone so impressed that the shuffle facilty can chuck up some music they like every now and then. You put the music in there , it just has an algorithm that will do that every so often . It's not alchemy!!
I'm just wondering how long nefore we get the iPhone Shuffle with no screen that rings random numbers , after all that was their philosophy with music , "Life Is Random" - Right On!!
What else could we have?
- i-wedge Use your iPhone to steady that dodgy restuarant table , or keep the door open!
- i-tile Use it as a stylish kitchen or bathroom tile
- i-plectrum Use it as an oversized plectrum to play some serious rock riffs
- i-hi Insert it in your shoes to give you added height
- i-pod Case for small green vegetables - oh sorry that's been taken
The list is endless but you saw it here first
