London store sets up MP3 course for the technically clueless

LONDON (AFP) - Technophobes will soon be able to pay for tutorials in how to use their iPods at an upmarket London store, even though the manufacturer does it for free in its shop just round the corner.

Clueless music lovers who have embraced the trendy new technology but not the know-how can pay 65 pounds (95 euros, 115 dollars) for a 40-minute lesson at Selfridges, on the popular Oxford Street shopping haunt.

A Selfridges spokeswoman said the one-to-one "iPod Survival" sessions, to be launched later this month, have been set up in response to customers who are baffled by the devices.

The lessons, which include subjects like using iTunes, installing and deleting videos, creating playlists and downloading Podcasts, are given either in-store or on a home visit.

Blimey!, I should get myself one, write some notes, and do a few tut's myself!

Though I would NOT use one of those overpriced gubbins myself... Ipod shuffle with no display, you can get something much nicer, and cheaper too - and given the privacy concerns, Itunes is a non-starter for me.

The iPod suffle ain't a real iPod... Nano and all are more normal kinds of iPods and you know, those poor grandmas who buy these things and don't know how to use the internet might appreciate it.
