This appears to be just the ABT iJet 2-way, announced months and months ago. It does have some uses, since the remote is weather-resistant (I assume, all other ABT iJet products are), and RF. I've had my eye on this for use in the car as a substitute for the Harmon Kardon Drive + Play and to take snowboarding.

A remote for something already tiny! You've GOT IT!"

it would be nice if a /remote/ didnt occupy the same amount of space as the ipod or be 1.5oz HEAVIER
To me it looks like a minature (albiet uglier) iPod. So basically you're using an iPod as a remote control for an ipod!
