Every once in a while, somebody comes up with a fantastic idea. Ipod users in major rapid transit districts could use their newer iPods to read subway maps. As this Yahoo! article details, the maps were digitally shrunk for use on the iPod by William Bright, a 27 y/o that works for Nerve.com. Since the maps used were copyrighted, the maps were removed once the copyright lawyers for both the San Francisco and New York City contacted Mr. Bright. The idea of analog maps to digital media remains a valid one but will likely be poorly executed and unreasonably expensive once it's commercialized.Next entry: Panasonic SA-XR55
