From Associated Press

Apple Computer Inc. is investigating complaints that its popular iPod mini is prone to static and other sound distortions when playing back music.

The diminutive music players, which have been shipping since February, sometimes generate the noise when users touch areas around the headphone jack, according to reports at iPodlounge.com and Apple’s own discussion forums.

Shares of Apple fell $1.11 to $26.93 on Nasdaq.
