Inline USB Adapter for iPod Shuffle 3rd-Gen: “Shu-Lip”

I’d like to see it with the Shuffle attached, but the company’s site offers no example “in use” product photo.

“Patent”, eh?

[UPDATE] The company has since put up an ‘in-use’ photo, and it’s so absurd I felt I had to share it here.

If it came with a USB cap for when the Shuffle is not being used, which the Dexim site makes no mention of, the 3rd-generation Shuffle could have a stick shape. I’m a big fan of the 1st-gen Shuffle. The new one looks perhaps a little too small to feel good held in the hand, which may partly explain Apple’s decision to remove almost every incentive for holding it. The familiar controller from the 1st and second-gen models was shared to the Apple Remote, which doesn’t seem to be in any danger of being replaced, even by those using Apple’s Remote.app for iPhone and iPod Touch.

I learned from MacWorld that it is intended to be sold for something close to $10, which is refreshing to hear, since so many times when perusing iPod accessories nothing seems to be cheaper than $29.99.
