Pocketster Pro Lets You Share Your iPod's Tunes

"If you've come to this page, you probably already know what Pocketster does. Just as a refresher, Pocketster is an application that allows your Pocket PC to be discovered by other Pocket PCs in the area or by any PC running a Zeroconf (a.k.a Rendezvous) discovery stack. You can also discover other Pocketster users anywhere on your wireless LAN. Pocketster includes a web server (that you can use to publish information) and a music preview utility that allows you to stream music files from nearby Pocketster users. More details and screenshots can be found at http://www.pocketster.com/. Pocketster Pro (the advanced version of Pocketster) takes the idea a step further and adds an iPod Module. The module enables you to publish your iPod playlists and have anyone in the area listen to previews or download tracks wirelessly from those playlists."
OK, that's pretty darn cool -- the idea is to use a USB host-enabled Pocket PC to access and share the files on the iPod. It's not going to be very practical, battery-life wise... but W?BIC! :D
