iPod remote (OT)

[ACS]

Hi there-

I'm also on my third remote (30 GB iPod). There's insufficient strain 
relief present in the remote's design. I'm hoping Apple will soon 
create an improved remote that will last more than 2 months. I've 
considered taping up this one to provide additional strength, as ugly 
as that may be.
