I know that subsequent posts have made fun of this idea, but it's
already happening, and pre-dated the iPod by almost two decades.
Portable "walkman-style" FM radios have used the headphone wire as an
antenna for many years. You could argue whether that application is
more of mono-pole than dipole, or rabbit ears. You could also show lots
of portable TVs that only use a single rod for an antenna.
In response to another obvious tongue-in-cheek comment, three years ago
I used a set of headphones that had an XM antenna hidden in the
headband, and it worked quite well with a portable XM unit. No need to
walk a certain way or orient your head to the south ;)

Think of it this way. Apple made wearing white ear buds fashionable.
Can the CE industry make it fashionable to walk around wearing rabbit
ears?
