I do wonder how an iPhone is designed in this regard it actually comes with an USB to phone cable ? And it can't be designed in such way that it breaks stuff ? But I to would be careful with an old Touch I would not even try power an HD with it . The USB port was originally for a small local library on an USB stick ?
