The iPod- first idea

[kerntheconkerer]

Sorry if I am doing this wrong or posting in the wrong location, but I had a map idea. What about the iPod? It is pretty much the biggest thing of the 21st Century, and it might make an interesting map. I know nothing of how to create maps and certainly don't think that I would have to time to, but what do you map veterans think of this? I won't upload a picture because I know all you guys know what they look like. It could be the classic, white probably.
For the bonuses, have the round button in the center of the click wheel be the bonus +1
For the Click Wheel, it could be either 4 territories all connecting to the button, or 8.
For the screen, it could be contrived of 4,6,8, or 10 territories all equal rectangular shapes
For the shell, it could easily vary, but it could be all one bonus.
What do you guys think?

OK thanks I guess I did have the wrong spot my bad guys...

this is a bad idea for the following reasons.

1. There would be copyright issues and Apple is litigeous and very protective of their brand.
2. Not everything on earth would make a good map for playing a turn based strategy game. Generally inanimate objects don't make good maps.
3. Not enough territories and besides that, see 1 and 2.

Ok I see your point, I guess I just had a radical idea because I've noticed other abnormal maps such as conquerman and poker chips...

Not a bad idea, but like mibi says in his first point, too many legal issues. Also, ipods are known for their simplicity, so you wouldn't be presenting yourself with an item that lends itself well to many territories. You could take the idea, however, and spin it off. Perhaps, music electronics? Or, what about vinyls? You could research some public domain tunes and create scattered vinyls lying about and in the center of it all have an mp3 player (generic brand) that intimates the transition from one medium to another. Anyway, don't give up, just keep spinning it until it works.
