It's happened to me a couple of times before, usually when I am wearing gym shorts around the house...the seem to be a good conductor. I also notice this happened mostly with my first generation iPhone and not my 3G. Once I got a rubber case (from incase) on it I have not had any problems with any pair of pants :]

This has recently happened to me also, one of the freakiest sensations I've ever experienced actually as I've never had shocking pulses of electricity go directly into my ears before. Gave me one heck of a headache. My coat had a lot of wool in it so it probably conducted a nice charge. Glad to know it didn't just happen to me.

Ouch!

My iPhone/iPod shocked me too... ouch.

It happens with both my iPhone and my iPod Classic. Usually when it is in my pocket or in my purse. It has also happened once when it was sitting on my desk at work. When I'm holding it, it's fine. Needless to say I've stopped using the headphones when I'm not holding the devices. I've made an appointment at the Apple Store for tomorrow... I'll let you know what the outcome is with the "Geniuses."

I've never had my iPhone shock me.

I did, however, get shocked with my old zune quite often. I attributed it to the cloth earphone cord it had, though.
