My wife and I are both having this problem with our iPods, so I know it isn't just mine. Sometimes when I set down the iPod even with the hold button locked in place, the iPod turns itself on and starts playing randomly. Then, when I use the menu to go back to choose a song, the screen is blank as if no song is playing. It's weird. Does anyone know anything about this problem? It's annoying because if you don't realize it has turned itself on, it will continue to play until the battery drains. Thanks!
