iPod Hacks posts "iPhone shuffle" spoof
The folks over at iPhone Hacks have posted a spoof (read: this is fake) of an upcoming Apple product that minimizes the functionality and branding of the recently release iPhone. The new iPhone shuffle (again, this is fake kids) carries the slogan of "Life is random," and its ground-breaking industrial design indeed conveys this idea with the exclusion of most typical phone features such as a full keypad and screen. Details are slim, but the iPhone shuffle appears to feature nothing but the soon-to-be-iconic singular iPhone button, presumably for dialing friends, family and co-workers completely at random. Since we can assume the iPhone shuffle synchronizes contacts from your Mac or PC (or possibly just a random selection of them?), it is likely that you have a good chance of calling someone you know and possibly even want to talk to.Not much else is known about the iPhone shuffle, though I think it is also safe to assume that its price could lean more towards an introductory demographic, due to its extremely minimal design. Unfortunately, Apple declined to comment as to when the iPhone's little brother will come to market, or, surprisingly, whether the device exists at all.

That would be a really cool shuffle if it were small like the current one.
You could push in for Play/Pause, Up and Down for Volume, and sideways to Skip/Rewind.
I LIKE IT!

Wonderful concept: chats are random.
The thing is, I think my mother already has a patent on this technology.
