Banning iPods while walking

This could get interesting. It looks like New York is planning on making it illegal to bike, walk or run across a street while using your ipod.

I’d love to see them enforce this. I mean, if New York bans iPods, I’d LOVE to see what Apple (and the man himself, Steve Jobs) says.

According to GulfNews.com:

And it is not just iPods. Kruger’s Bill also would ban using cell phones, Blackberries, video games or other electronic devices when crossing the street.

Kruger said a 21-year-old man in his district was killed last autumn when he stepped off the curb at the busy intersection while listening to music. And a 23-year-old iPod listener was killed on January 11.

Do you REALLY think making iPods illegal when crossing the road will make a difference? I don’t…
