Cell phones and transmitters like them really can mess with GPS in the cockpit based on actual studies; however, the effect is not consistent.
As to iPods, noise-cancelling headphones, laptops and the like -- I have to wonder if that prohibition has as much, or more, to do with not having any distractions during takeoff and landing in the event of an emergency.
