Unlike others I can see the point of this, in fact I went looking for something like this for a specific project I'm working on. Unfortunately this falls somewhat short of what I had in mind. The basic problem is, that as an iPod owner, this works nothing like an iPod. It lists only your playlists, so while you can view tracks in the playlists, if you're not sure what playlist a particular track might be in, you're stuck. This is made infinitely worse by the fact that there is no top level iPod-like menu that allows you to browse by song, artist, album, etc. This is the basic functionality I was looking for, and it's not there, so for me, it's useless. On top of that the icons are ugly and some of them are completely non-obvious. Also, why are there two (ugly) volume controls? I can't figure out that at all. Only the iPod mini is simulated, oh and the U2 edition, sort of. Something that truly emulated the iPod could be handy, but this deviates enough from the real thing as to just seem half baked.
