The article isn't clear about which iPods, but I assume it is the version with the internal hard drive. I would suspect that the magnets in the hard drive motor are causing the problem. It would be interesting to see if it causes problems even when the iPod's battery is fully discharged.
I wonder if this will be used by others to bash the iPod once again.
