UK Military Buys Overhyped Gartner Report, Bans iPods
from the seems-a-bit-late... dept
Last week someone at Gartner woke up and realized that the iPod, which has been around for years is actually (oh no!) a hard drive, and came out with a scary report about how they should be completely banned from the workplace, because (just like the telephone, the internet and a photocopying machine before it) it can be misused. Well, someone over in the UK military apparently believed all the hype and has decided to ban the iPod. Thank goodness, the world is now safe from military staff listening to MP3s. Update: But wait… thanks to Bryan in the comments, it turns out that this story is now being denied.

Re: Thumbdrives anyone ?
So they ban IPods …
What about our tiny little USB thumb drives or smart media cards & readers ?
If I want to steal data I doubt highly I would use an IPOD.
Thats our government for ya !
