It seems that IPODs can interfere with heart pacemakers. It is particulairly dangerous if the IPOD is placed in the shirt pocket close to the pacemaker. Apparently quite a few electronic devices can do this to pacemakers. Now what they need is a song to heal a broken heart.

Bad cliche though. I wonder if there are any cases they are finding out now may have been caused by the Ipod units and if they are the only ones to cause this affect.
