/.



apparently a fad has started where iPod users seek each other out, and for about 30s plug their headphones into eachothers' jacks. sounds like it could be a cool thing. then again, i'm bound to find a whole slew of assholes who listen to shit. i think i would feel dirty if i tried too.

    Couldn't my iPod catch a virus this way?



    Maybe apple should sell little rubbers.

    I'm super-protective about my iPod. One dude picked mine up to see what I was listening to (on the screen), and I just freaked.

    Yeah, if I had an iPod I wouldn't want no one else touching it. Sounds like an okay idea to me, but it's not for me. I am exposed to a huge variety of music as is, I don't need to know that everyone is listening to some sort of crap rock from the past 5 years. A good majority of 90's and 2000's music has sucked.

    If anyone walks up to me and reaches for my iPod, I'll punch them in the face..... unless it's a girl, then I'll punch her in the tits.

    Enjoy your stay in prison... but hey, you obviously aren't interested in attracting females in the first place, so maybe you won't miss them.

    It'd be a great way to meet a girl, but I think we should all be cautious about doing this because there are now Windows users with iPods.



    Just remember that.

    it's funny, I see A LOT of iPods out here in Boston. I just got mine, but so far I haven't gone out on the streets with the iPod headphones.



    I don't really want much attention drawn to my $300 toy

    That Article had some GREAT ideas in it.



    Wireless iPod music sharing, similar to iTunes sharing, people can set aside music to share, which appears on any other pods in the area to access.



    hehehe



    although that kind of negates the social aspect of Pod sharing in the first place



    but it's still a neat idea.

    The best part of that idea, if it was implemented via wi-fi, is that some enterprising soul would write a nice program for my powerbook which would allow me to rapidly increase my iTunes library.

    wi-fi would be cool but like it has been said..i think i would feel sightly (or more than slightly) violated

    Apple should come out with a dock to dock cable. Plug two iPods together, and start mixing and scratching! How COOL would that be!?

    If I would buy an iPod again, I think I'd do it. It's a great way to hear other tastes. But I would probably do it like applenut.

    Nah, you have to use a mixer. And even then, you can't scratch on your iPod.
