iPod - a Weapon of mass destruction?
Posted on Apr 21, 2009 under free ipod downloads, ipod news |
Interestingly, two reports hit the airways today that reveal that iPods are now considered an essential ingredient in the war on (and by) terrorists!
From the BBC UK came the report of a man jailed today over terrorism charges. In his posession was:
a document or record containing information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.
How does this relate to iPods? Well, apparently part of the “strong evidence” collected was an iPod!!
Now this might sound nuts - except that coincidentally, Newsweek also reported today on the growing importance of the iPod Touch as “an electronic handheld device”, for the military in Baghdad. Aparently this sophisitcated piece of equipment has actually outsmarted current military devices - cheaper by more than 50% and better! Apparently we can now include “making sense of the reams of data from satellites, drones and ground sensors” as part of its capabilities.
And as you can see from the above image - todays reports are not the first linking iPods to military use.
Makes the name of our blog take on a whole new meaning!
