I’m sure that they would offer some sort of way to turn it off, and I find it interesting that Apple is even looking to add such a feature.

@Richard: That’s pretty funny…I wonder if anyone has ever actually tried to put an iPod in a Zune. I once knew a kid who gutted his TI-89 Calculator and put it in a TI-86 case so that it could be used on things like the ACT test.

And i though they were going to use “Hide-a-Pod”.

The Ultimate iPod (And iPhone) Anti-Theft Device ……………
Hide it in a Zune!

Just tell us what iPod model you want to protect and we provide a gutted and hinged Zune with our custom molded iPod casing adapter. We also include a custom cable from the Zune’s controls (see FAQ) and audio output jack that you simply plug into your iPod. No iPod modifications are necessary.

Can I choose my Zune color?

Sorry, no. We only use brown Zunes for the maximum anti-theft protection.

Will all iPod models (and iPhone) fit?

Of course! The Zune is so incredibly huge that there’s plenty of room for any iPod or iPhone along with your choice of accessories, a sack lunch, and maybe a small cat.
