It’s been three weeks now and apparently Apple wanted to throw a curve ball by 
iPods are everywhere these days, and one of the easiest ways to determine that someone has an iPod is by looking for the signature white cords. For a thief looking for an iPod, it takes no effort to seek out a potential target. And these targets could be anywhere, a mall, on the bus, or walking down the street. What if there was a built-in anti-theft system on your iPod that would only allow your device to charge one time if the device is being used without authorization, thus deterring theft?
