I would invent cordless ear buds for my iPod. I walk down to work through downtown Portland from Hadley’s daycare every morning. I head back up at lunchtime to feed her, back down to work and then back up at the end of the day. When all is said and done, I log about 3 miles a day on my Nikes. The faster I walk, the more time I get to spend with her. And I have to tell you, I’ve got a pretty impressive gait. The secret is in the swinging of the arms. Sometimes, with said wildly pumping arms, I end up yanking the ear bud right out of my ear. I’ve also worn a skirt without pockets and I would really like my iPod to be in my purse, without a cord tethered to it into my ears. If the wondernerds at Apple can invent the iPhone, you’d think that they would have come up with the wireless earbud by now. I would even make an attractive, sparkle-pink carrying case to tote them around in. If I only worked for Apple, they could be making some real dough right now.
I’m going to go touch up my resume right now….

What you need to do is make them SMALLER. These things look like something out of Startrek.
Ok, I should have clarified, decent looking wireless earbuds. Those things are super dorky, and $235!!!! Like I said if they can make computers the size of iPhones, you’d think they would have come up with tiny earphones by now.
Nice work on the research Jaybird but I’ll stick with my corded ones for now.
