Why didn’t they put the string on the foot?  If you have it around your neck, isn’t it easier to operate if the string was attached at the foot instead?

Because it’s easier for muggers to see what you’re listening to <i>before they try to yank that player off one’s neck?

Just a wild, very wild guess…

So, this is another of those generic cases (presumably from China, like just about everything else “iPod”) spit out by the hundreds of thousands if not a million or two and sold by anyone willing to pick up some and claim them as their own.

In other words…a couple of dollars or thereabouts apiece is probably too much to pay for one of these. Ah, the wonders of cheap labor…
