Members Dragons Pearl Posted November 11, 2008 Members Report Posted November 11, 2008 It depends on the type of iPod. I wouldn't want to use a magnet with an iPod classic, as it has a traditional hard drive memory. iPod touch, nano, and iPhone all have solid state memory and would be unaffected by magnets. Yikes! I forgot about the memory type. Thanks for the knock on the noggin! Quote Paul A. Southern Idaho Boy
Members escherblacksmith Posted November 12, 2008 Members Report Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) minor point, virtually all screens (little video screens, etc), are affected and tweaked by localized magnetic fields. Having one sitting right in front of the screen of the I-Pod could cause a rainbow distortion effect over the screen, centering on the magnetic field source. My older I-Pod has a slight one caused by the internal harddrive. It is usually temporary . . . The case is quite gorgeous! Edited November 12, 2008 by escherblacksmith Quote eschew obfuscation
