Wired News (wired.com) this week alerted us to a new Web-based service that turns iPod users into ads for Apple: iPod My Photo transforms any digital photo into a signature iPod silhouette-style ad for $19.95.

Customers upload a digital snap, choose a background color and pay. In about five days, the "iPodified" image is e-mailed back to them. A white iPod and earbud wires will even be added to the picture, if so desired.
