    I have heard yes but I have not really found anything to verify that.

    Are you having problems, or are you just paranoid?

     

     

    FWIW, just for grins and giggles, I JB'd a 2nd gen and restored it back to factory settings.  The main reasons were I got the thing fro free, the silly thing would not play music or videos, It had a bad digitizer and a dead battery.  I spent a few bucks on parts and got it up and running. I wanted to see if the problem was with iOS so I JB'd it.  I wasn't impressed with the JB.  It was a pain to do, you had to save files, whistle "Dixie" and sacrifice lab rats, and it still wouldn't play music or videos, so i restored it.

     

    Later on I got a 32 gig 4th gen, and the 2nd gen sat, and sat, and sat.  Then on a whim I took it out, plugged it in, charged the battery, and the darned thing worked, even played music and videos....
