Context of use



Oslo, Norway, January 22nd, 5 °C and some wind. Waiting 10 minutes in the bus station does not sound so bad when you are all set up: winter jacket, winter boots, hat, scarf, gloves and an iPod touch to kill the time.. but wait, how do I use the touch screen without freezing my hands?

After a couple of attempts I discovered that the only way I could use it was with my nose. Yes, I also tried with my tongue but that sis not work…. I am sure it was not intended to be used that way.

Other unexpected effect is that I usually changed songs until I would find the one I wanted to hear. With this new constraint, I cannot do it anymore but I have to hear all the songs I have, this way, I am discovering a couple of nice songs I did not remembered anymore..
