    Best IPOD accessory ever! =)

    omg I saw a photo of this in some magazine and thought they had invented it as a joke! Just wait... iPod Separation Anxiety is going to become a real diagnosis in the DSM-IV and next thing you know, some lawyer will use it as a defense for homicide.

    Definitely better than the $20 + tax that you'd have to pay for Apple's own iPod AV cable! Thanks, OP!
