If I Were an Engineer for Apple...

...I would design a wireless adapter for the iPod. Apple already has a product called the AirPort Express with AirTunes. It allows you to wirelessly transmit your iTunes music to any stereo --not only is it a great product, but it is perfect for DJing parties as well. The only problem is if your computer isn't centrally located, you will be constantly running back and forth managing your playlist (you may be asking yourself, why not just create a playlist and leave it? My answer to that is then you wouldn't be a very good DJ then, would you?).

So what if your iPod could wirelessly read your computer's music library? (for you techies out there, I was thinking you could just sync your library's XML file) You could zip through your entire iTunes library in the palm of your hand from any room, and cue up that perfect song with one quick thumb tap.

Outside grilling and want to put on some U2? Just pull out your iPod. At the dinner table and the music is just a hair too mellow? Sneak your iPod out of your pocket and cue up some Jack Johnson. Just chilling and want to listen to a jazz-trio cover of Iron Man? You know what to do...

All I ask is what were you (or you two) doing at either the Marriage or Pistol Agency?
