The MiShare is a matchbox-sized $100 Linux appliance that interfaces between two iPods and allows you to transfer files back and forth between them.

Remember Netscape? No, not the social news/bookmark site - that’s called Propeller now. I’m talking about the web browser. You’re forgiven if you didn’t realize the Netscape browser still existed.
