MiShare lets you swap music without a computer

I just found a really cool iPod attachment called miShare that lets you copy files between iPods. I know what you're thinking, but miShare is actually a device that only lets you share your personal media with friends such as photos, videos, and non-DRM music files stored on your iPod. That pretty much means you can't swap music purchased through iTunes with your buddies.

The device doesn't require a computer or cable connection to work, so it makes the process of sharing a little easier if you're on the road. To swap files, you simply attach both iPods to miShare's 30-pin connectors, press a green button, and wait for the transfer to be done. You can share the last song played by tapping the transfer button once, or hold it for three seconds to transfer an entire playlist to another iPod.

Unfortunately, it won't work with the iPhone or iPod Touch, but it's perfectly compatible with most iPods. The device will set you back $100, and you can either find it at Urban Ouftitters or MiShare's website. Gizmodo actually reviewed the device, so check out the video to see how it works.

    Apple should make the next iPod with bluetooth file transfer capability

    seems a bit too expensive, but it seems that it would deem itself as a fine investment

    Ha ha, funny thing is I thought you were going to say something like this. '...share your personal media with friends such as photos, videos, and DRM music files stored on your iPod.' Anyway, if I am correct, I believe Apple said they'd remove the DRM once the price changes went into effect on iTunes. Something along those lines. Nifty, but, like the Zune's wireless, I doubt you'd use it as much.
