[pct-l] IPod Nano Update

[Slow Comfort]

I bought an 8gig nano & solio, made a little plastic coated wire frame for
the top of my Tilly hat to hold the Solio in place by tying onto a pencil
sized aluminum tube with a hole in the bottom and a flange on top that
I stick in the Solio hole.

It's practical efficiency but looks very, very odd.  The first time I used
it a bunch of boy scouts met me on a local hiking area trail.  I could hear
laughter behind me for for a mile.  But it works and I had my tunes, local
weather on the FM accessory and I'm looking forward to audio books on the
trail.  I have no remote speakers, but am definitely going for them.  I've
been thinking of iStuff nano speakers, anybody use them yet?

I've now revised the frame, but yet to use it, by applying small Velcro
strips to the back of my hat to hold the unit...doesn't look near as weird
and I'm hoping it will catch optimum sum.  I'm old now but still very weird.
