Mobile phone/ hard drive interaction.

[xiphias]

Do mobile phones cause any damage if placed near hard drives? I know floppy discs have issues, but I didn't think the magnets in a phone were that strong (especially if has piezoelectric speakers instead). Just wondering as I sometimes place mp3 player in same pocket as mobile..

Nah, should be fine.

Wouldn't loose any sleep over it, the CE mark on a device means its been tested for suseptability to EM interference (amongst other things)
