Apple Patent To Let Outside Noises In
08.09.07 - 12:06pm
Apple is always filing for different and interesting patents for use in some future machine we can only marvel at and this one is no exception.
While most people generally try to keep noises out while listening to their iPod with noise-oscillating headphones, and sometimes too out as in previous story, Apple has filed a patent that seeks to integrate those external sounds into your iPod or iPhone.
The way it would work is that say if you are walking down a street and wish to be kept aware of your surroundings so you
don’t get hit by the car barreling down on you you could, hit a button and allow outside noises to be heard along with your music and if someone is making an announcement like screaming “Watch Out” and you’re not quite sure you heard it right you could rewind, and play it again.
Take that Mr. New York Senator!
