Gives "Reach Out and Touch Somebody" a Whole New Meaning

"FBI agents and Marines have a fashion challenge -- it can be so difficult to figure out how to accessorize your Knights Armament M110 sniper rifle. 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?"

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 Bullet Flight from Knight Armament to figure out quick ballistic solutions in the field. Seriously though, a SWAT team from one of the agencies I dispatch for is looking into something similar to use on their sniper rifles so the idea has merit.
