iBlog About iPods

Are iPods addictive? I believe that they are because I can't live without mine. Every day before I go to sleep at night I plug mine into its dock that also functions as a boom box. Many people who have iPods have at least one accessory for them. When I go to the gym I see tons of arm bands for the iPod.

Nike even makes a shoe that is compatible with the iPod; its called the Nike + shoe and ccomes in a variety of styles. When activated a little chip goes into the sole of your shoe and transmits a wireless signal to your iPod and syncs music to your running pace. If you are running at a rapid pace the music would be more up beat and fast paced. If you are running at a slow jog then the song will be slower and more subdued. This feature also allows you to track how far and at what pace you have run. When you sync your iPod with iTunes, it publishes your results on the web-based tracker that allows you to compete with friends around the world. This proves my point of how addictive they are!
