When an iPod met an AK47 ...

A story about how an iPod stopped a bullet and saved a US soldier's life in Iraq raced around cyberspace last week, thanks to an image of said device on Flickr and the Digg.

There was lots of talk about Apple's efforts to get Kevin Garrad, of the US Third Infantry Division, a new iPod to replace the one that took a round from an insurgent's AK47.

Some facts have just emerged which kind of get in the way of the story.
