Reason.TV Debates How American the iPod Is [Video]

Posted July 23, 2009 at 3:57pm by
A video by ReasonTV looks at whether or not the iPod is an 'American' product and whether we should buy foreign.

The report indicates that while the iPod is "designed by Apple in California" almost all of the 451 parts are manufactured abroad. The screen comes from Japan, the battery from Chile, and the CPU design from Britain - and it's assembled, in China.


After hearing this, outraged bikini babes begin smashing numerous iPods in protest.

Take a look at the video below...
