I take it that, now, we’re over the whole iPhone thing. To those of you who haven’t gotten one (I haven’t, by the way) I know you’re kicking yourself for not camping out outside your neighborhood Apple/ATT store the week they were coming out. But for those of you who have gotten one and are in love with it, this post is for you guys.
You’ve dealt with all the skeptics who thought that this would just be another gimmick from Apple. But, as the skeptics are slowly learning, Apple doesn’t do gimmicks; they put out solid products. So, you have your iPhone and you love it, but there is this lingering feeling that you have in back of your head. It’s similar to the feeling you get when you’re in the car on your way to work and you think, “Did I leave the iron on?” There is some unfinished business that you have to handle before you can continue with your iPhone enjoyment experience, but what can it be? I know! You’re wondering what to do with your, now useless iPod. Your iPhone is now your lifeline and you’re not going to carry around two MP3 players are you? So, here are a few ideas to get you started:
1. Permanent Car Audio - Replace That Bulky 6 Disc Changer
Go down to an electronics store and get yourself one of those iPod adapters. What am I thinking? You probably already have one. You load up your iPod with some tunes and stick it in the car. Now your car stereo simply acts as a glorified amplifier filling your car with rich MP3 goodness.
You never have to fumble with unplugging the adapter or figuring out where you left your earphones. You leave that iPod in the car and you’re worry free. Just remember to chunk it in the glove compartment or under the seat when you leave the car. We don’t want to go tempting robbers now do we?
2. Compact Mirror - Fix Your Hair And Makeup
iPods are known for having a stunningly shiny back surface. These make perfect mirrors for the ladies to fix their hair, makeup, etc, and for men to…I don’t even wanna know why you guys want to carry around mirror, but whatever floats your boat.
So if you’re in a crowded elevator, late for an after lunch meeting, you can whip out your iPod and check to see whether you remember that chicken you had for lunch because it was so good or because you can still taste it because it’s stuck in your teeth. And presto, you’re no longer the vain one, you’re just checking out some tunes on your iPod. This trick works even better if you leave the earphones on.
3. Use as a Portable Hard Drive - And Still Look Cool
No need to carry around the tiny flash drives all over the place. Only college kids and nerds carry those around right? And you’re much to classy to be caught dead with one of those. But there is still the dilemma. You need those files from your computer. iPod to the rescue: The iPod can function great as a portable hard drive. Just still the USB cable in and there you go. So, you can carry around all your files and have them when you need them and still not look like a geek.
4. Avoid Getting Mugged - Theoretically Sound
Now, this is a variation of another technique that you may know. This old method has proven itself quite effective at allowing you to get away from a potential mugging situation with maximum money in your pocket and minimum injury to your body. So, I’ve taken this old technique and put a new technological spin on it. When someone comes up to you with a knife and demands your wallet, pull out your old iPod and some change. Throw it to the left and run to the right.
It’s the same premise as having a fake roll of money in your pocket and wrapping the outside with a $20 bill. It appears to have great value to it and it gets your mugger’s attention. It’s the same thing with the iPod. iPods are still in great demand, so a mugger would be likely to leave you and go after the iPod. Who cares, you got your iPhone in the other pocket. Now this is my disclaimer: I haven’t tested this, but it should work in theory.
5. Donate Them To The Needy
Now this is one of my favorite tips. I’ve never been on the cutting edge of technology, so I don’t even have an iPod. Yep, it’s true. My buddy left his over at my house while he was on vacation; it took me two days before I figured out that their is not charger. With that said, Baz is now accepting donations of all iPod, iPod Mini, iPod Nano, and iPod shuffles. Contact me for shipping information.
