It is me that took the video, with my iPod Nano, and my phone.
This trick works with all iPod Nano's (I don't know about other models)
With my phone, you need to place the arial directly over the top of the iPod, for some phones, you just need it next to it...how is that for scary! Personaly, I am glad mine only works very very close!

It can send that info through to your ipod through the shielding. What's it doing to your brain?

That's kinda weird, I thought they were only touch-responsive... Not mobile phone responsive Is it possible that someone is changing the volume behind the phone? You can't actually see the touch/click-wheel when the volume's changing as the phone is covering it.

the click wheel is a device that works on the capacitance of your touch ...
The click-wheel and the track-pad don't work off capacitance, but by stray RF -- your body is acting like a low-gain antenna, picking up and collecting whatever RF energy is around you. The sensor-surface on both devices listens for higher-than-background, point-localised sources of RF.
Some years ago, the touch-screen company MicroTouch had a small trackpad-like peripheral called the UnMouse, which did use a capacitance system. It proved to be unreliable, and thus a poor seller.
It makes perfect sense for the output of a mobile phone to affect iPods and trackpads.

My teacher from TAFE (a huge mac fan) told me about the fact that because of how the scroll wheel works, things like pen's and such don't work..
but guess what? they did tests.. and oranges work to control the scroll wheel! but apparently apple's dont work.. why i wonder?
