iPods Go Theftless
posted January 11, 2008
NEW YORK, NY -- With iPod thefts rising across the city following the holidays, vendors have stepped up their efforts to provide products to protect the popular but highly visible portable music players. One such device, the iSore, cleverly hides the device inside a protective snap-on plastic casing, which itself is concealed within a dense cluster of gold-encrusted rare ores, silver nuggets, scintillating jewels, and delicate copper filigree in a mishmash of art-deco and turn of the century Russian stylization.
"No one would mistake this opulent, Baroque pile of conspicuous wealth jutting out of my pocket for the sleek, minimalist design of Jonathan Ive and the Apple company," says product saleswoman and Upper West Side resident Sharon Kennington. "I and other savvy consumers can run in peace knowing the clever visual deception, and the alarm that goes off every ten seconds shouting 'NOT AN iPOD, NOT AN iPOD!' at 150 decibels, will deter even the most tenacious muggers.
"Besides, with the earbuds pressed firmly against my irreplaceable, wafer-thin tympanic membrane, the external alarm doesn't even bother me!" Sharon added before jogging into the cold, Central Park night.
