TEO - Ready to go into Orbit!

And the other thing I would argue in favour of a possible large growth in the available market is ASA for IPODS. What is the difference between a call centre worker and an ipod user?

“Complicating the problem is that the earbuds aren't fitted so tightly that they drown out surrounding noises. "So they crank it up more," Garstecki says. And because the iPod can hold 12 hours or more of music, some people keep themselves plugged in all day, never letting their ears rest.”


1. they never let their ears rest in certain cases?
2. their hearing is at risk: “But these buds, earbuds used to listen to iPods, could be sowing the seeds of irreversible hearing loss.”?

Canada's Maclean's magazine reported in its Dec 1 issue that over 27 million users around the world risk hearing damage because of the iPod's ability to play as loudly as 112 dB -- "louder than a chain saw" -- for hours on end. Reportedly, the EU has a 100-decibel cap on portable music players, but there's no such limit in the US or Canada"


"The TC1000 interface is very easy to use. A LED on the unit is off in normal operation. This flashes slowly when 85db has been exceeded for 10 minutes or more, flashes fast if the daily exposure is 90% of the acceptable level, and is constantly on if averaged exposure has been reached"

At least let the poor hapless ipod user that they are damaging their hearing with the little red lights? Fireball how about a phone call to Apple aswell? We will have to be doing no doubt this until the sales exec arrives?
