iDirect remote control for iPod

So I've been hankering after some wireless functionality for my iPod. It's not Bluetooth (why, oh why, is it not Bluetooth?!), but the
DLO iDirect Remote Control is a remote control solution for your iPod.

This $50 device will allow remote control of any dockable iPod. The IR receiver attaches to the top of the iPod and works with the included remote or with an existing learning remote. It also features headphone pass-through to allow usage with many car transmitters and cassette adapters.
