The iPod micro. About the size of an aphid. Fits in your ear.

When Apple gets into making nanotechnology robo-insects, the first one might just be the aPhid. Note the lowercase first letter, and in keeping with iPod and iMac it's a vowel, and the uppercase second letter, a consonant (and only two syllables too). Apple will also be the only company to make a bug spray to control aPhids, as they'll want too much for the license rights. There will be a thriving accessory aftermarket, with cute little pouches and carrying cases and home-stereo docking stations for the muscial variant of aPhids.
