iPod Smarts
I wrote about my iPod in an earlier post. A few days ago I learned about another smart thing that Apple did when putting the unit together. If you remove the headphones, it turns itself off to conserve battery power. How smart is that?
I assume that this is not true if it’s docked somewhere. But if I am using my iPod and I remove my headphones, in a few minutes the iPod turns itself off. It’s smart enough to realize that nobody is listening. Then when I plug the headphones back in it turns back on. Or at least it does some of the times, on other times it doesn’t. I suspect it’s because on those cases I turned it off myself rather than letting it put itself to sleep.
Smart stuff.
