National Semiconductors using iPods and podcasts to keep its employees up to date

There's always a new indication that iPods and the technologies around the device are hitting the mainstream. In the curve of adoption, you don't expect manufacturing companies to be up there dabbling with the latest, hip, technology, but apparently National Semiconductors is giving every employee an iPod, or some 8,500 units.

Every employee will be receiving a 30 gigabyte iPod. Each one will be loaded with company podcasts and other such corporate communications, a cutting edge way to get everyone to sit up and pay attention. And that's 8,500 more people who will become quickly exposed to the idea of podcasting, using iTunes, and getting a look at Apple product.

And as a straightforward gift, I wouldn't have minded getting an iPod for any reason as an employee!
