So, there was this rumor a while ago (before they updated the iPods to the "dock connector" version), and though far out, still pretty cool:
An iPod and bluetooth mouse all in one... The idea being that whenever you found yourself in front of a Mac OS X enabled computer, your iPod could also be used as your mouse, and when you "linked up" it would also be your Home director/files.
I believe the rumor stated that it would also be a cell phone, have a color screen, and probably write a senior thesis for you (no research required).
Nonetheless, it is a rather nifty idea to sync an iPod up with whatever computer you're using... Or perhaps get to a point where similar to systems that "netBoot"--you boot the computer with "you."
