iBlue, Mac mini based IP X

I'm not an expert on VoIP (that's Voice over IP) technology, but I do know an interesting way of distributing software when I see it. 4S newcom GmbH has developed a new software based IP X (that's telephone switch to you, put simply). Normally, this wouldn't be something we discu on TUAW, but they are distributing this software X on an iPod Shuffle (from the looks of it, it is the old style Shuffle). The pre release says that even on the 512meg version (which will soon cease to be produced) there is room enough for the software and 4 hours of music.

The system also includes a Mac mini, which gets booted off the iPod Shuffle, after which you can i tall the software on the Mac mini.

2,999.00 Euros is how much you'll need to get this system when it shi on November 6th.
