Will the HD be erased? And if so, how to fix it? Does Apple provide a backup software for it on a CD (Pixo, I think the name is, of the OS that needs to be put back on)?

That's why the back is real metal. Either stainless or possibly Mu-metal. Mu-metal would also help explain the price. It's pretty expensive, but an excellent magnetic shield. The magnets in the ear buds are pretty strong, you can move one bud with the other and never touch.
Just to be safe tho, do your best to keep magnets away from your 'Pod.

No wonder Apple only gives 90 days warranty and no extended warranty option!
