It looks like a good idea. But it's got a colour scheme like a cheap training shoe. And it probably eats batteries.

The only one I've ever seen in use was when some blokes from Barnsley came to install our dust-recirculation faciity at work the other week.

Not sure whether that's an endorsement or not 8)

I read about that one too :lol:

But something more serious: the iPod thumb

Apparently better change thumb every now and then, or use other fingers :?

I do this:

Anyway, the original "Smash My iPod" link, yeah yeah, sense of humour bypass, but that's shocking! Buy a £250 piece of equipment solely in order to destroy it? Conspicuous consumption at its worst.

Mostly hold it in one hand and navigate with my index finger, lots quicker too...


I found the smashing quite childish too, guess it's just spoiled children... However destroying things can be satisfying, right? :lol:

But anyway: It seems people payed them to do it, so somehow there's a demand for things like this and I guess offering this 'service' is just another way to earn money... All you can do is laugh because of the stupidity on both sides I'm affraid...

But what irritated me very much is that they're the worst actors ever
