Professor Pod

It appears that one of the reasons the iPod is so popular is that it allows users to shut out the world and that therefore the long rumoured iTunes phone will not be a hit amongst the Pod community. But how do we know this?

Because Dr Michael Bull of the University of Sussex has made it his job to study the iPod and its users… and he is now the world’s leading expert on the social impact of these sublime devices.

    I’m all for these ‘sublime devices’ as you call them. It’s also nice to know that they’re preparing a generation to be able to deal with the subsequent deafness and loss of interaction with the outside world which listening to hours of music on headphones invariably causes. Chicken or egg?

    And with the new podcasting features in iPods and iTunes 4.9 maybe it’s time for Little Storping Radio?
