So here is my crazy idea for today. Grant you, I don’t think it exists, and I’d love for someone to prove me wrong on it, and it would need a cable like I haven’t ever seen before, and it would open up a new world of stuff to the iPod, some of which I think can be done anyways.

Why not a cable that links 2 iPod’s together!

Why would you want this? Well, you could use it to transfer files from one iPod user to another. NOT music (although I’m sure someone would hack it), but instead the general files that you place on one like a disk drive, contacts, maybe even things known to be free like podcasts. It would certainly be cool if I could give someone who never knew about Game Junkie a copy of their podcast as proof of the things they do.

That’s the main thing I could see being cool. I can also see why most companies would shy away from such a thing … piracy concerns mostly. But, like any product of this type, while you can think up many unauthorized uses, there are just as many good legitimate uses of being able to transfer back and forth from large hard drives on the go.

The cable problem? Simple … I’ve never seen a cable with a dock connector on either side of it.

Thoughts? Ideas? Am I nuts or would this actually be cool?
