So you don't like www.dontclick.it? :-)

I don't know how this particular system works, but in general, you can use
finely-tunable statistical timing methods to "learn" how a specific user
acquires targets and initiates a clickless click and create a personalized
signature, as it were. (Financial industry uses a similar method of timing
how fast you type your password and patterns therein to authenticate, for
example.) On a cleanly hierarchical system like the iPod interface I bet one
can get pretty good results that way.

Still, sounds a bit of wishful thinking, innit?
