More iPods in space
A few months ago, Scott pondered how many iPods were in space. Well we have a confirmed sighting of at least one more, besides Anousheh Ansari's, on the International Space Station. Click through to the hi-res version of this pic of European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Thomas Reiter, an Expedition 14 flight engineer, and play our own iPod-centric version of Where's Waldo.
Next up from Apple: a complete line of NASA + iPod products?
Thanks, Marco!

Well it looks like nikon is space_compatible :), but they also use sony monitors and kenwood ham (radio amateur) transcivers...
i think i wait for a staitment of ESA or NASA :D
That has a whole new definition for iPod shuffle.
I just want to know how they keep the earphones from scrambling.
Does NASA have a deal with Nikon, or is it just me?

perhaps this should be a new 'it just works' ad?
I'm with LittleJoe, screw the iPod look at all the lenses in that picture, especially the one under the desk he is sitting at.
