I like the idea of hacking accelerometers in devices to allow motion control and if you could link that to a new UI based on top of a new filesystem then you would have a winner I think.
Anyway he was telling me how he stopped using his remote for the iPod, I asked him if it was to do with having just way too much cable to deal with and he said yes it was, I knew this as I had the same problem but figured out a way to fix it which I am grandly calling a hack....
Plug your headphones into the remote and then loop them round and just below where it splits in to two put it in the cllip that is designed to attach to clothing or whatever and there you go, you have a lanyard style hoop, put it over your head, plug in the headphones and enjoy :)
certainly sorted me out and here is a fairly low quality pic taken from my phone hosted courtesy of Flickr and their fantasticly easy service :)
