Blue Chi’s

Nothing can match the reflective metallic iPod remote, all the way from the stylish perfume like packaging and to the touch of the buttons and the small green little hold-indicator; you have to see the iPod remote to the actually realise how beautiful it looks BUT you also have to actually see it in practice to realise how impractical it is.

The problem of the remote is not its being, but in the fact that Apple does not seem to understand that we would have to attach it to some headphones to use it. The collective length of the two accessories together is taller than me standing, that’s more than 180cms, I can tie the iPod to my ankle and still easily manage to wear the earbuds and have the remote somewhere close to my hands. I first thought that I would have to use the other headphones that came with the remote, but there were identical to those that come packed with the iPod, I think that it’s seriously so stupid of Apple not to have the headphone that comes with the remote shorter than the average headphone so that we can actually clip somewhere where can access it quickly and at the same time not need to tie the rest of the headphone wire around one’s neck. It is way too long, I just hope that actually works better with a thobe (dishdasha)…
