You don't want to put shiny bling on it, since that may attract the curiosity of your target. Dangly things would probably get caught on something. Hmmmm, how about an iPod touch?"</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1232563324.usr105634.jpg" /></em></p><p>I know fumbling around for your phone to give a SITREP (situation report) to the command post can be difficult when you are in a tight spot for hours, but now you have a tool to make it so much easier! There is even an app on the iTunes store called <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=300903039&amp;mt=8" target="_blank">Bullet Flight</a>&nbsp;from <a href="http://www.knightarmco.com/" target="_blank">Knight Armament</a> to figure out quick ballistic solutions in the field.
