IPOD TOURS: Pearl Harbor's Battleship Missouri Monument offers visitors tours with an Apple iPod tour guide.

"We've readied a fleet of new iPod Touch units loaded with an unprecedented amount of video footage, audio recordings and veteran interviews so that our visitors have the option of walking and experiencing the Battleship Missouri at their own pace without missing out on any part of her history," said Michael Carr, the memorial's president and COO.

The Guide2Go tour details more than five decades and features footage combined with narration and eyewitness accounts of men who served aboard the USS Missouri.

Ten video content stops are spread throughout the ship, focusing on World War II, the Korean War, and Operation Desert Storm. Bonus material features details often overlooked on standard tours.
