Now you have at least hundred and one reason to tell your nagging nanny, why you’re so immersed with your tunes and iPod, and will not even leave your iPod aside for only one miuite. It’s simply one reason, an iPod could be the gadget that saves your life one day. Here is an example, A U.S. Army soldier in Iraq was saved by his iPod after the device took a bullet from an AK-47.
“The army, Kevin Garrad, who is with the 3rd Infantry Division was patrolling the streets of Iraq when he rounded a corner and went face to face with a gun-toting insurance. Gun fire was exchanged and Garrad was hit in the chest. The insurgent was killed. At point blank range an AK-47 round is devastating and has a decent chance of passing through the Interceptor body armor vests used by Army soldiers, but the iPod apparently slowed the bullet enough to be stopped completely by Garrad’s vest.”. Surely, this is definitely a good news to Apple, it’ll at least add one more selling point to iPod!

Perhaps, she was on the way getting herself prepared for a battle. That’s why she carried an AK47. But she also carried an iPod. It’s simply that she also realized that iPod not only boosts her battling spirit by keeping her accompanied with best tunes and also iPod would possibly help her bring down at least one bullet! [...]
