When I use my N810 in my car, I have a friction mount on my dash to hold on to the N810. This works great, but sometimes if I'm accelerating and hit a bump, the mount moves. I've had it slide off the dash once, but I was quick enough to catch it. The centre, flat part of the friction mount is metal, and I was considering securing a magnet underneath my dash for some extra hold for the friction mount.

But I'm not sure if a magnet will have any negative effect on the N810. As far as I can tell from online searching, flash memory and touchscreens are safe from regular magnets. But the N810 is much more than that and I was wondering if anyone had any insight as to what effect, if any, a magnet will have on the N810.

(note: I don't plan on placing the N810 directly next to the magnet, or holding it on the dash with the magnet. The closest it should ever come in contact with it is how close it is when placed in the friction mount)
