NYC Land of iPods
It is rather amazing to see the number of iPods in this city. Everywhere you look the “earmark” white buds are showing the tell tale signs of Apple. On the train heading to and from Brooklyn last night I probably counted ten of these gadgets. The news has reported that iPod thefts in the New York subway are skyrocketing. It becomes awfully easy to know who and what to target if you’re a pick pocket when the earbuds give it away. Most folks don’t want to swap them for plain black buds because the iPod has become more than a music player, more than a fashion statement. Its become a status symbol for the masses. Lets hope Apple doesn’t blow it like they blew the personal computer market.
