iRosary
Could this be the oddest iPod accessory ever? Shiny Shiny has discovered the iRosary concept design. It uses standard iPod earbuds and a single bead. The idea is this: Reciting the rosary is boring to young folk. The iPod is not boring to young folk. Combining the two can help bring piety back into vogue. The single bead moving along the cable creates a measurable pulse that can be translated to the sound of traditional beads on a string. "Due to technical possibilities, the new rosary can help a person to learn the prayer; the right mysteries are inserted automatically and there are various modes for choosing the degree of difficulty." Users can choose from "Infidel", "Believer" and "Shepherd" settings--playing back the matching MP3s as the bead is moved.
