Shufflephones 2.0

Photo_Designer writes "After hacking my first pair of headphones to accept an iPod Shuffle, I just couldn't keep my hands off my other set of headphones and hacked an iPod shuffle adapter inside them, too.

Thats looks pretty useless...no easy access to controls and the comfort of a plastic stick to your ear blocking the headphones.. Looks like a great time waster though..

The new iPhone Shuffle from Apple - randomly dials numbers from your contact list when you go to make a call.

Hmm, useful.

I already do that, but my headphones really don't have any music...

Shufflephone 3.0

Apple and Cingular have merged to produce the new Shufflephone. When set on shuffle I found myself reconnecting with old friends I forgot were in my phonebook.
