U.S. Soldiers’ New Weapon: an iPod

Growing up I watched cartoons on Saturday morning like many other children in the 60s and 70s. I enjoyed watching the School House Rock intermissions almost more than the cartoons. One of those lessons stated that knowledge is power. I took that to heart and never forgot the phrase and now the military is putting that phrase to more direct use as well.

This interesting Newsweek article describes how the military is using the iPod Touch loaded with applications to help soldiers communicate with locals, document their whereabouts, and get instant information in the field.
