Cool, but sooooo Apple. Right up there with that completely useless $600 (or whatever it was) iPod jacket, which sold about 3 units (Steve, Steve's mother, and Steve's cat.) Never mind making a cheap 2-5 GB iPod people can actually afford, iPod would look kickass in a Beatle, so let's make people buy that!
