The One with iTunes and iPod and Android

It so happened that I overheard this small piece of conversation. Names have been changed to protect the identities

Seema : Heyy.. Can you please check. I downloaded an app on the tablet but wo install nahi ho raha hai (I downloaded an app on the tablet, but it's not installing)

Pankaj : Hmm... try once again na ... Ho jayega

Seema : No yaar ... It's not installing, it's saying unable to open the file. Tried 2-3 times already

Pankaj : Okay ... Did you download it from the App store ?

Seema : No .. I downloaded it from the internet. It's available to be downloaded freely.

Pankaj : Which app did you download ?

Seema : Itunes ... I can then connect the ipod with the tablet and transfer the songs.

Pankaj : You .. what ?!

Seema : Haan ... iPod ke liye you need iTunes to transfer the songs, you didn't know kya

Pankaj : But did you intend to transfer the songs directly from the tablet to your iPod ?

Seema : Yes.

Pankaj : Using iTunes on the tablet ?

Seema : Yes baba.

Pankaj : Hmm ... And you downloaded 90.99 MB of iTunes. Wow. Nice. So ... how do you plan to connect the iPod to the tablet ?

Seema : Hain na .. I have the cable to transfer.

Pankaj : Oh Nice. And how will it 'connect' ?

Seema : It has the connector na. Ek min ... let me show.... Ohh .. this is a small connector socket.. the wire has a bada wala input... Ohh this won't connect ... hahahahahaha

Pankaj : ........ Are you sure ? Don't want to give it a try ?

Seema :  (still laughing)

Well that ends the conversation that I overheard. Nothing funny about it. People try to connect iPod to their Androids using iTunes. All the time. I still don't see why Seema had to keep laughing about it.
