iPod boom spawns LoadPod
December 18, 2005 by Mike Wendland
Wanna know how popular iPods have become? Look no further than LoadPod, a booming national business with hundreds of local reps around the country who will come to your house, pick up your CD collection, transfer it to your iPod and return it to you, installing everything on your computer while teaching you how to synchonize.
The cost is under $2 a CD, depending on how many you are transferring.
The nearly two-year-old company is the brainchild of Bill Palmer, a very entrepreneuirial Mac enthusiast from Florida.
His busiest day of the year? Next Monday, Dec. 26, when millions of people will likely be looking at their new iPods and contemplating how to get their CD collection onto that tiny little player.
Most, of course, will figure it out just fine. But with such a huge user base, the number of newbie iPod users who are technically challenged or too busy to do it themselves makes for a nice little business.
Great idea, Bill.
I wonder how many other iPod-related businessees and services there are out there.
