| IPod Radio. Your music, your news 
I have an idea for an iPod or mp3 player which functions similiar to your favorite radio station. Your own songs would play but after a set number of songs an audio news flash would come up. You could predetermine what type of news (sports, national, etc) you would want. It could present a wide array of things including weather, concert updates, or any kind of interesting information. People listen to the radio to get news but are constantly bothered by the same songs played over and over and annoying DJ's. This way people wouldnt even have to read the paper in the morning. They could just turn their iPod on in their car and get updated while still listening to their favorite songsReward: Credit

| Rethinking the 'Smart Pen'
I feel that smart pens could be vastly improved. at the time of this writing, I find it funny that the best one on the market is the Fly Pentop. The remaining pens are mainly handwriting recognition. I have created a series called brainstorm guy, and its a video outlining my ideas/inventions. you can watch my smart pen episode (my debut episode) here:
http://web15.metacafe.com/w/1051447/Below is a summery/expanded ideas and thoughts to the video, so please watch it first. basics of current smart pens:
1. input (handwriting recognition)
2. output (speaker based User Interface)
3. processing (what runs the pen)
4. connectivity (getting notes from the pen)
5. battery (power)
6. pen (it highly advanced super glorious ball point roller technology)problems
1. size (too large)
2. cost (expensive)
3. User Interface is limited
4. 3rd party support is lacking
5. special papersolutionpen only needs:
1. input
2. connectivity
3. battery
4. penadd your favorite cellphone to handle:
1. processing
2. output.this solves problems 1-4.problem 5 is hard to get away from, but being able to use 3rd party development alternate uses will come to light. Now some things I didn't cover in the video:If the pen, also contained a stylus, you could use a piece plastic anoto page to have a surface to write on. because this is based on using a cellphone, you can transmit your messages to anyone, so passing notes is extremely easy.also being cellphone technology, you could draw the cellphone keys and remotely control your cellphone with out touching it. now internet access come into play using cellphones/computers so updating blogs and such becomes easier in a since, it would allow you to choose a smaller phone that lacks a qwerty keyboard. (like the n95 ;P)you can created a tablet like input to your computer.Reward: please allow a lot of users to beta test the device before releasing it and try to keep it as open as possible.

| The Pigeon
I had this idea of making a new high tech newspaper delivery system. I was watching this program on the history channel about homing pigeons and how they were used during WW1 to carry messgaes. Well I think the same thing can be done for newspaper delivery, but not using pigeons. It would be shaped as a pigeon and would carry at least twenty papers inside and will have a GPS system so it knows where to drop the paper. We would just have to figure out how to power the pigeon to fly. Reward: Advice on how to make this.
