Does this look like something interesting? I tried one of those new ipod Shuffle devices at the Stanford Mall yesterday. Basically the size of a USB gadget. One main benefit over the older ipods.. these have an USB connector. What if you could mate with another ipod shuffle and exchange recordings, podcasts, whatever. Reminds me a little of the Beaming device on the Palm. But perhaps exchanging addresses and appointments is not as interesting as exchanging sound content. Also, I think that making an actual connection (rather than wireless) seems more enjoyable for typical folks.
Imagine a very simple interface. Big arrow button that lets you flip the direction of transfer and a simple push/pull button. And the screen is a nice addition to the screenless shuffle.
