If you are old enough to
remember a time when Apple
included a mouse that had an actual button, then you might appreciate this.
Take one old Apple ADB mouse, rip the cord out of it, plug some cheap, crappy headphones into the whole you yanked the
cord from and Viola! A genuinely Apple-branded mock iPod that doesn’t cost you a dime (except for the $2 you paid for
those cheap headphones on the last flight you took). Sure, it’s beige and ugly and doesn’t actually play music, but
it’s kitschy. And who doesn’t love kitsch?

This could actually go somewhere... did anyone see that mp3 player made out of the altoids tin? check it out: http://www.hackaday.com/entry/1234000607027290/ You could make the big button rock back and forth for next and previous... there are possiblities. I might actually go try this if I can get the hang of soldering.
