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?
