Hammacher Schlemmer, the purveyor of expensive crap no one needs, has added an iPod Remote Control with Display to their catalog. This $139.95 device works with any Dock Connector equipped iPod. The screen on the remote displays the currently playing song, as well as playlists and what have you.Holding the Command key (aka the Apple key) and pressing Tab will cycle through your open applications. It's easier to Cmd-Tab if you are Copy (Cmd-C) and Pasting (Cmd-V) to and from various applications.

I can tell how impressed you are by the product by the word count of the post: 55.
That's less than the previous post about StevieJ's clothing: 129 words!

It looks like a breathalyzer. That is the most usless iPod product that I've seen in...hours.

I think we may just have found something uglier than that SanDisk MP3 player.

To me it looks like a minature (albiet uglier) iPod. So basically you're using an iPod as a remote control for an ipod!

while its nice to see a display on a peripheral,
it would be nice if a /remote/ didnt occupy the same amount of space as the ipod or be 1.5oz HEAVIER

How useful, a remote for a device that is tethered to your ears by approx. 3 ft of wire.

You know what scares me is not that someone came up with this idea but that some respectable individual sitting in a corporation looked at that hapless inventor and said "by god! A remote for something already tiny! You've GOT IT!"

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.
