I'm amazed that only the apple magnets do this and not any other magnets at all.

  > So a person who lays the iPad2 on their chest while napping, or holds one on their chest while reading, could trigger magnet mode. I think the point the article is trying to make is that holding an iPad close to your chest is both more likely to happen, and less noticeable than holding a magnet to your chest.

    I wonder if those quack 'magnetic wrist {pain reliever,travel/seasickness preventer} bracelet' things are strong enough to affect it?

  That's because Apple magnets are washed in Unicorn tears. Everybody knows that. Amazing how news media picked up this story.

  Came here to say this. Defibrillators sensitive to magnets != apple killing children.
