iPod Shuffle Port

[AquaBlue]

My question is in regards to my iPod. I own both the first generation Shuffle and a Nano. I never (pretty much) use the Nano because of its short batter life- due to the consumption used by the screen. I use my Shuffle alot- and mean every day, 24/7.

My question is why has Apple, or any other third-party vendor, not offered a port (see image below) for the Shuffle (both generation models)? I hate using my computer to recharge it and having speakers for the iPod would be nice. Thanks for you answer.

You might want to check out ZipConnect products. I believe they are sold at Sharper Image and elsewhere online. I'm pretty sure they are capable of playing even 1G Shuffles. (I had one of those once upon a time, so I was looking for the same thing.)
