iPods are an unusual showcase of design in the otherwise unintuitive world of consumer electronics.  Unfortunately, they have a huge Achilles heel.  While the meticulous design puts German engineering to shame, it stops short at the headphones.  Steve Jobs must have enlisted Apple’s iTard department for this part to cut costs.  Houdini’s alter ego must live in my pocket because the headphone knots that form in there make Eagle Scouts jealous.
