Sounds sorta like the "Nintendo thumb" epidemic that was going around in the early 90's when kids were getting sore thumbs from playing so much Nintendo.   :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Track and Field and other sports games were from hell. I wonder if my nintendo controllers are still stained with blood.

The iPod joins a growing list of hi-tech gadgets linked to possible health problems. Most recent is "Blackberry thumb", an RSI-like complaint linked to obsessive use of the portable e-mail and phone computer. There is also PlayStation thumb, said to afflict those who spend too much time on games consoles.

I already have the PlayStation thumb (and perhaps [console name here] thumb) ....so I might as well aquire the Ipod thumb to complete the collection too...XD I probably already have it....Being an Ipod user for more than 15 months.
