Isn't anything made in China done so in the same type of working conditions complained of in this article? Are we just going to boycott and/or bitch about all products coming from countries with questionable labor ethics? If Ipod closed shop and went elsewhere or brought up the standards in these factories, all those people would be out of their job ($50 a month is better than $0) or Ipods would cost many times more than they do because one of the largest components in product cost is the labor invovled in building it. Benefits and high pay cost lots of $$$.
