Thorburn Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Time for my yearly attempt at a funny: Following the launch, possibly last year, of the Smart iPod with built in iPod interface, Smart announced the Smart iPod Shuffle to cunningly link in with the launch of Apples iPod Shuffle. Like the iPod itself the Smart iPod Shuffle will have an innovative randomising PC linkup feature, not for songs but for the sat-nav. "Yes," trilled Smart spokesperson Randy Omplace "we decided to make the software pick your destination totally at random and not tell you where until you arrive, because heaven forbid the owner should actually have to make a decision!" Development was not without its setbacks however "For a while it always just chose Milton Keynes, and the iPod itself insisted on filling itself entirely with Bewitched" he crooned, "that was a tad annoying". The car also features a revised exhaust trim featuring a fake iPod trademark, the white headphone. Lead designer Anthony White reasoned this was "Because consumer surveys said they wished owners would shove the damn things up they're arse."

Webbo Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Is the Smart ipod shuffle something that prospective owners will be encouraged to do as a way of reducing the opportunities they have for their more normal occupation, namely the five-knuckle-shuffle?
