Ni-MH have a minimal memory effect (or actually, no memory effect at all, just a voltage drop problem)
NiCD batteries are the ones you have to watch, but I very seriously doubt you're using a NiCD in your iPod.
In other words, don't worry about it. Your Lithium Ion batteries in your ipod, cell phone, and probably laptop DO NOT develop "memories".
I have all three types of batteries for my R/C car. I have three discharge systems, a cycler, and one of the best chargers ever made for them... the cells STILL develop memory! i sware on all that is holy! buy me a new pack and we can run the hell out of them (after letting them cool after each use) and i'll show you how fast memory will creep in... even with all the dischargers, cyclers, and awesome chargers... cells still die
they read great numbers... for about 15 seconds lol
