MP3 saves the life~

Makes for a great interesting Monday morning news - two tourists trapped in the Swiss mountains when their last best hope for rescue, their mobile phone, died just as they managed to alert the authorities to their situation. They were saved when they were spotted via the light from their MP3 player as the long night wore on. No mention of whether the lifesaving device was an iPod or an Aigo (or one of those wierd "MP10" music players...).

Reuters.com - The light from an MP3 player saved two lost tourists from a chilly night stuck out in the snowy Swiss mountains, rescue authorities said Saturday.

The two -- a skier and snowboarder, both from France -- had got lost late in the day Friday outside marked runs near the resort of Savognin in southeast Switzerland, said Gery Baumann, spokesman for mountain rescue service Rega.
