Why just the iPod? Why not every phone or gadget that has camera/video?

I don't understand.

Because they play video, or because they display video?

And are other iPod™ products okay?

Yeah, nothing is more frightening that 20 or 30 pink pixels.

This. Pretty amazing they don't realize there are other mobile video/pic taking devices in existence.

Corporate Policies are dumb.

You get a specific complaint and THAT wording becomes policy. "That perv has an iPod nano!!!"

I know of a childcare place specifically forbidden to show Scooby Doo because one video scared a (probably home schooled) darling.

Pavel - the new Nanos record video now - pretty decent quality too, I might add.

iirc, it's pretty much always the shifty professor or scientist.

James, that's why I'm perplexed as to why cell phones aren't banned just the same - most at least take pics, many record vid.

Rawlins Gilliland, says:

FYI, on weekends, etc. there are also kids in the locker rooms, etc. lest one think this issue solely concerns mano a mano new-age techno-lust pixel peccadilloes. That said:

Last summer at the (upscale) health club, I watched a married dude snap a shot of another guy who was naked and clueless. I wondered, what's up with that? It didn't take long to see.

FYI #2: My new health club forbids any cell phone usage in the locker room. I suspect someone's snapped shot secrets ended up on Facebook. Hey--- 'social networking' circa 2009!

Pretty sure if I saw someone snapping shots of others naked &amp; unaware, I'd try and bring attention to it.

Luckily, my lifestyle doesn't really involve stripping around a bunch of dudes. At least not before we're all far too drunk to operate cameras.
