by John Biggs on December 18, 2006

A tipster sent in this video of a Treo 680 attacking an iPod’s volume control. Now it’s going nuts!

I haven’t noticed this with my 680 yet, but it always happened with my cingular 8125…

I wonder if they have to right next to each other, or just in the general area? Because now I have a sudden urge to see if it’s possible just to go around, jamming iPods like nobody’s business. XD

I did exactly the same thing with my Nokia 6630.

The FCC needs to regulate.

My old school monitor at home can predict the future. Seconds before my cellphone actually rings, the picture starts to get distorted and possessed. It’s actually a useful feature.

This makes me think of the Simpsons episode when Homers brother sells the cloth dryer and washer then it cuts to a shot in Moes Tavern where the guys are making bets on who wins over the other.

-I don’t know if their band is like this in the US, but in Puerto Rico Cingular uses a band that makes basically anything that can receive interference go nuts. At least I’ve noticed it with radios and CRT monitors (Like Amit)
-The AV teacher in our school would yell at us everytime we controlled the auditorium sound system and all of a sudden the freaky interference sound would come on
*hacks up a lung and rocks in rocking chair* ah, good times good times
