Do you suppose anyone ever raised this issue during product design meetings at Apple?
A major fitness chain has banned the new iPod nano with
camera from its locker rooms.
Apple's new 5th generation nano includes a video camera. The nano’s diminutive size has become a concern for Life Time Fitness, a company with 84 fitness centers in 19 states. As a result, it has been prohibited from use entirely in the facilities' locker rooms.
Company spokesman Jason Thunstrom said ino one can tell whether a user is choosing a song or shooting a video. Health clubs have banned camera-equipped cell phones for years.
The company will let patrons use the new iPod nano while working out, but shooting video while exercising is also prohibited.
The 8GB model ($149) of the 5th generation nano can record up to 7 hours of video, while the 16GB capacity ($179) can capture 14 hours.
