Yes, being able to listen to the same music while walking together, for example, is really pleasant. I used to do this with my daughter using a simple audio splitter, it's just clumsy.

Having extra things to charge and carry and lose is not nice though. It'd be simpler IMO if one phone streamed its music to the second, so that it's a pure software solution.

Given we're discussing Velo... the name means "bike" in French. Edit: which is probably fine.

For shape and size, why not something flat that can attach to the back of a smartphone? Size and shape of a small stack of credit cards. Give it enough battery life to last 24 hours. If the product works, then build it into protective cases for the main smartphones, maybe working with accessory makers.

As a french, I am not annoyed by the name "velo". We can see the number 2 almost everywhere in a bike: 2 wheels, 2 pedals, ... There is nothing negative in a bike, it is more associated with romance and freedom.

IMHO, velo is a nice name.

I agree it would be easier, but we are not living in a free world. Everything is a walled garden. Sharing is pure fantasy. Everything is closed, especially on iOS, but Android is not that much of different. So Velo enables sharing outside these ecosystems.

When it comes to the name, I realised Velo has something to do with bikes, after I came up with a name. There is a story behind the name I just posted in this thread.
