You know the world is falling apart when cats start getting along with dogs…but what if iPods were able to wirelessly share music with (gasp!) Zunes? And what if both of them tuned into a music stream from (gah!) a Creative Zen?!
That’s just the world imagined by Razer subsidiary Jook, which aims to add wireless music sharing capability to any portable music player with its Jook technology platform. The basic idea is that Jook users would attach a Jook device to the portable media player of their choice; with the device attached, users can either listen to their own music as normal, switch to an “Us Mode” that lets the user broadcast his or her music to other nearby Jook-enabled devices (a red ambient light will let folks know when a Jook device is broadcasting), or a “U mode” that enables a listener to connect to nearby Jook-enabled players.
