Title: Why is my Ipod heavier when it has more data on?
Post by: stana on 05/01/2008 21:37:17: Why when i upload songs onto my IPod..when i take it out..it seems heavier than when it was brand new? This is the same with my laptop??

Is there a reason for it..or is it just me?
If there is a reason for it

Howcome data can be passed wirelessly..if it weighs something??

thanks

It is just you, have you actually weighed the ipod before and after in a double blind experiment?
