Very Cool.
I wonder if you could make one that you can recharge, maybe even from USB.
I mean, of course one could do that, but could it fit into the all important Altoids case, using the DIY scale?
I have used Altoids cases for controls for various things so I love this.
Way to go.
What kind of charge do you get for an iPod?
