I’m from way down south at the tip of Texas, and I’ve seen atleast 2 people with iPods. A random guy at school and just yesterday when I went to the grocery store, there was a guy cleaning up in the deli area who had an iPod strapped to his arm.

I am just a bit farther south in Ft. Myers and I haven’t seen anyone with an iPod. FL is so out of the loop on so many things. I never saw a mini-disc player when they were big either.

Guess it’s the heat.

I live in “the OC” and pretty much everyone at 24hr Fitness carries an iPod. I also see people all the time at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo sporting their iPods. I’ve even heard people say “yea, today I went to the mall, iPoded, and…” haha, oh boy.

Funny though how neither me nor my best friend have iPods. We’d much rather put the extra money towards our next trip to Ireland. The walkman will have to do, haha.

“most of the people here don’t wear that much clothing”

Yeah I know. Those old tourists wearing Speedos on Fort Lauderdale beach used to really kill the day for me :(

Nah, it’s definitely because we are cooler. And most of the people here don’t wear that much clothing so maybe adding an iPod would ruin the outfit.

I see ‘em all the time here in Philly. Especially at train stations/bus stops. Maybe the fact that you can’t go more than 30 feet in Florida without a car (and as a result, a car stereo) has something to do with it Scrivs ;)

Wow, really? I see about 10 different people per day on the trains in Dallas with iPods. Just shows how much of a boom these really are I guess. Until I saw this for myself, I thought the numbers were all fluff.
