Searchers find man by his iPod’s glow

Gazette-Times

A lost mushroom picker was spotted and rescued after search teams saw the glow of his iPod early Friday morning.

Cold, tired and complaining of aching feet, 25-year-old Pini Nou of Vancouver, Wash., was spotted by a member of a Benton County Search and Rescue unit in the deep woods of southwestern Benton County at 1:12 a.m., according to acting Benton County Emergency Management Coordinator Peggy Peirson. Nou was lost in the Dawson Creek and Oliver Creek roads area.

The underbrush was so thick, it took the searchers a full 22 minutes to reach Nou, who, lacking a flashlight, had been trying to use the faint glow of his iPod Nano display as a light source. It took several more hours to get him safely out of the woods, and searchers didn’t get back home until around 6 a.m.

So what's a Zune ever done

Same here. Use my 60Gb Video for photo dumps (using the camera adapter) when doing shoots with my Canon
