The iPod Wakeup Call
from the adopting-new-technologies dept
Recognizing the changing landscape of how people listen to music, Hilton is apparently replacing the radios found in rooms across many of its chains so that they have a plug to attach a music player and are combining that with a number of iPod related promotions. What's interesting here isn't so much the technology (which is nothing special), but that the hotel is (a) taking this step and (b) promoting it so heavily. They're recognizing that many travelers audio needs are different than they were just a few years ago, and are changing to accommodate them.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
