I think they make these up to fill copy space or have some sort of 
official "slow Friday" quota of lunatic fringe medico articles they 
are obliged to publish.


given the amount of battery life you drain skipping songs on the hard 
disk based iPods (where it has to dump the cached track spin the disk 
up then read  forward enough to fill the cache and not to mention the 
screen light coming on when you hit the fwd button)  that most iPods 
batteries would go flat well before it became a RSI factor


Another example of the iPod being health risk (when will they run 
out of these?)

Any owners of 4-year-old iPods out there suffering from damaged thumbs?
