50 Fun Things to Do With Your iPod

Ant writes "Jason Kottke's Web site has compiled a list of 50 fun things to do with your iPod besides listening to music with those white earbuds: From the article 'In the four years since its introduction, the iPod has proven to be a versatile little device. Despite a relatively closed architecture, hackers have found their way in. Content creators and software makers put information at your fingertips when you're on the go. Would-be designers have added to the fashionable stylings of the now-ubiquitous white ear buds. Hardware makers and enthusiasts have augmented the iPod with new add-on gadgets. Here are a few dozen things you can do with your iPod besides listen to music.'"

List 45-50 are slashdotted, so here they are:

45. Blend in with a device everyone has

46. Untangled from useless features in cheap chinese knockoff

47. Free of battery failure with compulsory annual replacement

48. Go deaf

49. Buy back from eBay the iPod you gave someone for XMas, with original receipt and no shipping cost

50. Invitation to the iPod nano class action lawsuit

My favorite thing is putting the earbuds in my nose and opening my eustachian tubes. It's as if the music is coming from within your head (well, it is, really).

Altoid Box

[superpulpsicle]

Alright the #35 one should not count. That sounds like something fun to do with an altoid box, not an iPod.

My immediate thought was, "Okay, you're using it that way and it breaks... How do you explain that to Apple's warranty department?"

Re:for the womens

[kfg]

You don't. You explain it to their marketing dept.

Buring an iPod effigy composed of actual iPods, preferably in front of a Starbucks.

Missing the most obvious reason...

[MosesJones]

Buying one for your wife... meaning you have to upgrade your home machine to play iTunes... honest dear it just won't run on this single CPU one...

Linux?

[jollyroger1210]

Last I checked, Canada was part of North America. Did I miss a memo or something?

5 more thing you can do with an iPod

[Anonymous Coward]

1) Use it as a doorstop
2) Trade it in for a PSP. (Which plays games, movies, and browses the Internet.)
3) Use it as a rectal obstruction device whenever you buy mainstream music from iTunes at $.99/song.
4) Paint every room in you house off white, sell everything and refrain from any thing that could inspire thought or imagination. (Thought and Imagination are sins in the "Church of iPod" because they don't cost anything.)
5) Mark this post as flamebait and continue your consumer whore lifestyle

Re:ipod ipod hype hype hype

[Bazzalisk]

Only one point I can really challenge here:

I live in London, and it's pretty rare for me to sit ina tube carriage without seeing four or five other iPod users during off-peak times.

During rush-hour, naturaly, I can barely see anyone else who isn't presse dup right against me :(

4. exposure to music you don't own

That's why I bought the iPod in the first place.
