    Looks like where I'd expect them to take the next generation shuffle.

    The current version is so small, the next thing to do is eliminate the need for something separate from the headphones. Just make the headphones the entire device.

    Not that I think it'll make the shuffle line relevant again, but I've been expecting to see something like this since they debuted the last model, and you could see their willingness to compromise ease-of-use for size. #applepatents

    Dear Jesus,
    Let's make a conscious effort to not use cum in the same sentence as iPod ever again.

    From the thumbnail, I thought this was either a USB kazoo, or some kind of drug paraphernalia.

    In reply to Apple Tablet May Have Two-Handed Multitouch Input
    I'm guessing if the tablet were to come out next year, they would have filed patents a looong time ago.

    @Biscuitcleaver: That's what I'm thinking. These patents tend to be filed years in advance. If this mess is gonna be in a tablet that is supposed to come out nine months from now (this time), somebody's been sitting on their hands for a while.

    As with every one of these dang Tablet rumors....I'll see it when I believe it.

    In reply to Apple Tablet May Have Two-Handed Multitouch Input
    why is it that all these patent filings look like they were drawn in a 7th grade art class? couldnt those engineers hire an actual artist to draw those hands? its not like apple doesnt have the money.

    @heisthejordan: Proof they don't need an artist: you knew they were hands.

    If I drew them, we'd be saying; "what are those meatballs on sticks typing on that tablet for?"
