London department store Selfridges is offering 'iPod survival courses' for baffled consumers struggling to get to grips with their media players.
For £65 (£4 less than Apple's iPod Shuffle) buyers can get a 40-minute lesson on how to use their iPods to store and play music collections. More expensive lessons are also available if users require a home visit.
The lessons have puzzled some, however, since the Apple store on Regent Street, about 100m from Selfridges' London branch, already offers free courses in iPod use. Details can be found here.
Apple's store charges for a service called SpeedPod which copies CDs onto the device at £2.50 per album while you wait.

Dumb users
Wow, never underestimate the stupidity of the common user. Paying $100 for an IPOD lesson is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Next people will be paying $100 for lessons on how to turn on their toaster. RTFM!
