iPods And iPhones Could Shock You

By shock, we don’t mean their sales figures and numbers – no sir, Apple has just issued a warning recently that users of both the iPhone and iPod may experience a “small and quick” shock through their earbuds which has been attributed to a buildup of static electricity. This is similar to someone who drags his feet across a carpet only to get shocked upon skin contact with a door knob (or more irritatingly, another person). The solution? Ditch your iPod for a Zune, and iPhone for a Palm Pre. We’re kidding – Apple has recommended folks to raise the moisture level of the air indoors, use hand lotions for added moisturization of dry skin, wearing clothes made of natural fibers and keeping the device in the bag when outdoors.
