A TUAW reader has managed to spot an iPod onboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour, which is currently floating around in a giant vacuum. The hawk-eyed reader spotted the iPod from official NASA photos, which showed the device, barely visible, through a cabin window.
Interestingly, iPods cannot be taken into space willy-nilly. In fact, the usual lithium battery must be replaced with specially designed alkaline alternatives to ensure safety standards are met.
May be the austronauts are trying to test the performance of an ipod at that pressures or there is one ipod lover who just can't abandon his gadget. He might be interested in taking the ipod with him rather than leaving it in his home. But this pic is gonna bring more mileage to ipod anyway. phew
