iPod Touch Used By US Military
Posted on Apr 20, 09 08:09 AM PDT
The mighty US Army has something similar to the layman on the street - they too are finding the iPod touch from Apple to be an invaluable ally on the battlefield, since it is able to perform many functions that helps link one soldier with others in addition to viewing intelligence resources such as translation software and aerial images from drones. Perfect for soldiers who don't know a hint of Arabic to communicate with villagers thanks to the translation. Other applications written for the iPod touch (and iPhone, of course) include one that allows an uploaded photo of a street sign to return results of intelligence in the local area including water sources and sympathizers. Hopefully Apple will release a ruggedized device of its iPods and iPhones for our men and women in uniforms.
