IPod yocto - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia (1096 words)
The iPod yocto is Apple's 1,337th digital audio player this year.
: the yocto uses a new "screen" (possibly a play on "yoctoscreen") to project the song that the iPod is playing onto any of the 120 compatible iBillboards that have been constructed across the world.
When combined with enough Yoctos, the giant iPod suit can be worn as armour, proven to be able to absorb shorts from even the strongest of day-old kittens, and withstand temperatures up to, not including, 24 degrees celsius.
