ipod + big green switch

Tonight I was able to connect the big green switch Tracy lent me to a mono-jack and use it to control my ipod. The whole process was amazingly simple. I just replaced one of the switches I was already using with the female end of the mono-jack, plugged in the switch, and watched it work. Unfortunately, neither the ipod that Tracy had nor the one that Alex found will work with the remote and tx/rx protocol I'm currently using. I'm hoping that I can find someone who has a new ipod nano that I can use for testing purposes and then either a new ipod nano or the older version (that I'm currently using) can be purchased for the project. As soon as I know which version (and thus which size) ipod I'll be using, I can start building an enclosure for the whole thing. I'm still unsure what that will look like, but it's going to be pretty minimal - just needs to house an arduino, two mono-jacks, a small piece of perf board, and the remote cord.
