LOL @ diepod

I’m sure this will cause just as many people to stop using their $400 ipods just as much as the study on how laptops can cause men to become infertile caused people to chuck out their comps.

What the heck is a pacemaker?

This is kinda interesting. I’d like to see more statistics though.

Bill W. — they tested four different ipod models (try googling). I don’t think their point was to bash Apple. Yes more studies need to be done, but you’ve got to start somewhere.

Diepod?

It’s kind of a useless study. Obviously other MP3 players could have the same effect, but they only decided to test iPods. What kind of a study is that? No control test???

And, which models of iPods? Do iPod shuffles have the same effect as harddrive iPods? What kind of idiot releases a study only targeting a brand without any specifics? That’s like saying “Kellogs cereals can give stomach aches to sick people”. The lack of information is shocking with a study getting this much press.

I think that the person or persons that say ‘old’ people should not have ipods, might want to take a good hard look at themselves. Ipods, like everything else are a sign of the times. I have to wonder what is in the future, that such ignorant people will be told they shouldn’t use because they are ‘old’. I’m not old, but I have the utmost respect for the aged.
Further more not everyone ‘old’ has a pacemaker. I hope you all don’t have to find that out.

This is great news! I recently was stuck in Atrial Fibrilation for 7 days and went to the hospital to get electro-cardioverted back into normal sinus rhythm. Next time I’ll just crank up the tunes, and put my iPod in my chest pocket. It’s better than the paddles.

I am 62 and have a pacemaker. C’mon…can’t believe your article says “old” people. Plenty of young people have pacemakers and I love my ipod. This is disturbing news but even my blow dryer causes problems if I hold it right by my pm…..so I don’t! Hope there is more research on this, beause I use my ipod a lot and would hate to be without it.

I have had a pacemaker since I was 23…. now I’m 40ish…i have an ipod,
I am sure there are a heap of people out there who are now just a little worried. Not sure if I should use it now , but will definatley miss it…

Still..
i’m 23 and I have a pacemaker.. and an iPod.

Cause everyone with a pacemaker wears an iPod… My grandmother has a pacemaker, and she doesn’t even know what an iPod is. Does this study cover all MP3 PLAYERS? Not Just the iPod? How about the Zune? Oh, That’s right… NO one has a Zune, no worries there. Sales can’t go down for them.

Read about all your Apple rumors and see why the stock is going to $125 per share @: http://www.mark...category/apple/

An apple [iPod] a day doesn’t keep doctors away!!
Isn’t it coincidental that iPod sales coincide with the rising sales of hearing aid manufacturers too?

Wouldn’t this be the case with many other electronic devices as well? In Japan there’s a law (unenforced) that you have to turn OFF (not just silent) your cell phone while near priority seats (seats for old people).

Pallab,
the study didn’t look at other mp3 players so it’s possible others have the same effect, but notably the next study is looking at the effect of iPods on other medical devices, so it might not be an issue with Pacemakers alone. Certainly hospitals here (in Australia) ban mobile phones being switched on inside the hospital, iPods will probably be next

50 bucks says every single person in this study had to ask “what is that thing?” (about the ipod)

i’m not too worried.

Wow! This is quite frankly shocking. Is it applicable to just iPods or any portable mp3 player?

Maybe it’s an addon like the *&%()%)_@%)+ FM ripoff addon is!

I wonder if Medicare will pay for this addon?

“Every time I see some elderly person wearing an iPod and power-walking at the mall I just want to scream.”

Leave it to fake Steve Jobs to report Apple news as it is:) But I’d add this to the above to give the real Steve Jobs effect:

“And so ladies and gentleman, we found a fix. Can you believe it? We found a way to ensure iPod remains hip, forever!”
