iPod Shuffle SE

Every year at this time, post Macworld Expo, its good to reassess your hardware and software lineup and see what lies ahead. More than ever these last few years the big need has been toward integration and the ease of use for products to work with each other.

Every year at this time, post Macworld Expo, its good to reassess your hardware and software lineup and see what lies ahead. More than ever these last few years the big need has been toward integration and the ease of use for products to work with each other. Look at how high Apple has scored with iPod and iTunes ? they really have and still do steal the show.
Looking at the new raft of products I was just wondering whether Apple could release a real extra for their new iPod Shuffle (and a boost for Keynote use) making it function as a clicker and remote for presentation and iTunes. I use Keynote quite a bit for presentation and have enjoyed its stunning graphics but boy did my life change when I installed Salling Clicker software and hooked up my Nokia 6600 phone so I had a Bluetooth clicker to play with.
Presentations are now open ended I can stand where I like feel more relaxed and now with Keynote 2 see what?s coming for the next slide and not always have to face the audience but stand beside them and among them (presentations in the round for want of a better word).
It took a while to find all of this stuff and hook up two products to a software program. Recently with iPhoto there has been some talk over the AV output to show slides (output Keynote to PDF?). But what I?d like to see is that light slick iPod, cool as a Wrigley spearmint gum Apple clicker, the iPod Shuffle SE.
How do you hook up and present stuff visually and with panache in the big wide world?
