Agree.

Why don't they try moving in a straight line for a change instead of jumping about, with no idea of whhich toys people really want... gadgets need to be universal (rather than proprietary), usable (not so tiny you need to carry a microscope and tweezers to locate and push the right button), and of uniform purpose (not an "all things" in one gadget, cell phone, MP3 player, camera, toothpick and feminine hygiene kit combo).<br />For crying out loud, how about some common sense, like a USB port on my boom box, or in-dash CD, or home stereo system. And, unlike all of those USB enabled devices which are already being sold, please tuck the plug away from the face so the flash drive doesn't stick out waiting for the kids to break it off.<br />Apparently geeks and engineers don't spend enough time in the real world. They need another Bill Leer to show them what to do with their knowledge!

iPod shirt that makes sense

Here is an iPod shirt that makes sense - it has a pocket for your nano when working out and basic cord management. And big plus - it's not expensive ($28)! check it out at www.podwearclothing.com<br /><br />I saw Nike just came out with theirs but has a typical Nike pricetag of $65-$70...I'm not a pro athlete so that's a little steep for a workout shirt for me.
