Fisher-Price to Intro MP3 Player For Babies: The iTod
The UK's TIMES Online is reporting that Fisher-Price will launch an MP3 PLAYER FOR INFANTS this summer called the iTod, along with an iTunes-like music store. Personally, I'm having a hard time believing this. I don't doubt they'll introduce a player, almost certainly under their "Kidtronics" branding. I just don't believe they'll call it the "iTod" for three reasons: 1) it's too close to "iPod," and big companies like Fisher-Price don't do that; 2) I haven't seen anyone else report the name "iTod"; and 3) it's too lame a name. My theory: The reporter put in "iTod" for humorous effect, but one of the story's editors thought that was the real name and "clarified" the point.

So they're going to give toddlers headphones with which they can accidentally strangle themselves? I think they may have meant it for a slightly more.. mature audience than 'toddlers'.
"tod" is the German word for "death"
