I saw this and having discussed cool a bit I thought I would share a bit - there is more on Nick's blog.  Of course, I don't own an iPod or a Audio Port Netstreams thingy, I just use media center, a Media Center Extender and a xBox 360 for my "piped" music and I don't tell my daughter about iPods :-)

Me:  “If I get you an iPod, do I become cool again?”
Aoife:  “Yes, of course”.
Then it hit me….     
Me:  “Hang on…   you don’t need an iPod, you can plug your mobile phone into the Audio Port in your room and play the tunes from that through the system”.
Aoife:  “That makes the NetStreams system cool, not you…”
