Stolen Dead iPods
July 29, 2007
I always thought that the iPod having an incredibly poor battery life was a bad thing. But, that low battery life might just stop some miscreant from stealing the iPod – and not even because they’d rather get a Sony with a battery that’ll get them through the next week. Apple are supposedly developing a “guardian recharge circuit” that should prevent the iPod sucking juice from any unauthorised charger. Look out for it being patented on future generations of the iPod and iPhone under its patented form, then rolling out to other portable devices of the non-Apple flavour.
