iPod foils potential kidnapping attempt in the hands of quick-thinking child - Polidicks

[release] Apple's iPod touch can't make cellular calls -- at least, not without a special case -- but it did look enough like the similar iPhone to foil one would-be predator. A Delaware suspect asked a 12-year-old girl to get into his van in front of her middle school, but quickly fled the scene, when the girl reportedly put her iPod against her ear and told him she was dialing police. The local authorities did eventually get called and are still looking for the suspect. If you see a "white male, 35-45 years of age, with a dark crew cut styled hair" suspiciously eying the headphone jack placement on devices in your local Apple Store, perhaps you'd best stay away.

I mean how can't you tell the difference between an iphone and an ipod? EDIT: [IMG]http://i53.tinypic.com/2wme441.jpg[/IMG]

Because they look a lot alike? It was an ipod touch, not one of the older ones.

Was the predator Hank Hill?

Quite a smart girl.

Late as fuck.

[QUOTE=B1N4RY!;25781464]You've forgotten about the backplate. iPod touch always have a shiny metallic back, whilst iPhones are completely differents[/QUOTE] There are these things called cases for their Ipod touch or Iphone.

Why is it such a big deal that he can't tell the difference? I can't either. I've never been close to either and have only seem them in pictures.

I have an iPod touch and even without the case people ask me which one it is all the time

Just another reason the iPad sucks.

Old news, but that girl is still really awesome

for a pedophile, he has no courage of his convictions. Seriously, running away after one little hiccup?

There's already a topic on this.
