Of all the things that could possibly be steampunkéd, an iPod (or iPhone, iPad, iWhatever) is either the least appropriate ever or the most appropriate ever.

Least.

I dislike "steampunking" when it is being used to mean "attaching useless fannydangle". I approve when it's clever re-workings or additions. iPods don't need reworking on the surface as the hardware works fine, and since my biggest complaint about them is an inability to display full track lists without clicking through, I don't see how that could be improved by being "steampunk'd".

I quite like living in the future, all things considered.

Remind me to use the word 'Fannydangle' at least once every day for the next week.
