We Are the iPod People. You Will Be Assimilated...

If you ever considered the spread of the iPod’s popularity to be comparable to something out of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” or perhaps the zombie-like Borg race from “Star Trek: The Next Generation” then look no further than the latest iPod accessory from eMagin. Click here for a picture. That’s Gary Jones, eMagin’s CEO doing his best impersonation of Locutus, sporting something called the EyeBud. Connect it to your Fifth Generation iPod and watch the videos in the eyepeice. Here’s more on the product from The Seattle Times. At $599, it cost $200 more than the top-of-the-line 60-gigabyte iPod. Yeah, I want to be seen wearing that on the subway tomorrow.
