Shuffle Adapter

So one of the cool things about the iPod Shuffle is that you're supposed to be able to use them as USB storage pretty easily. In fact, it was one of the reasons that I decided to buy it, I was looking at buying a larger jumpdrive anyhow.

The problem is, it ships with this awkward docking station thing... you can see it in the cradled in it on the pic. The dock comes with a three foot cord that plugs into USB. It's not something that you really want to carry around with you, which immediately makes this thing a bad jumpdrive replacement. Luckily I found the IncipioBud, which is about the smallest adapter that I think can be made, and for a great price. $10 dollars after shipping. Up to $429 in sabbatical costs.
