No.
It shouldn't be unless you have your headphones in which could be a distraction to driving or if you are holding the ipod up to your ear, then a police officer could think its a cell phone.
I just spoke to a police officer and he said that it is not illegal to text or talk on a cell phone while driving YET. They are trying to pass it as a law. A law was recently past that it is illegal to drive and text under the age of 21yrs. in the state of MO. Now you can and probably will be found guilty if you are on the phone talking and are involved in an accident.

Using a mobile phone without a hands-free device while driving is illegal in many places. Texting while driving is especially dangerous.
No. It is illegal to be driving a car while holding the phone up next to your ear, but if you have a hands-free device such as a speakerphone or a Bluetooth headset, even driving and talking is permitted. It's also illegal - and stupid - to send or receive text messages or to type anything on the phone while you are driving.
No, it is not illegal in PA. California, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Oregon and Washington are the current states with a ban on talking on the phone while driving. It should be illegal: it's dangerious, crashes have happened, people have died.
you are not to use your cell phone at all when driving so even if your at a stop light its illegal to use your phone while on the road
I don't think so.
Only bans those under 18 from talking or texting on a cell phone.
Many states have bills in progress to outlaw hands on cell phone talking and texting. That is because there is a linkage to increased accidents and deaths while driving using a cell phone. There is a study that concludes that cell phone use reduces your skills just as driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Even though many people don't want talking on your cell phone while driving to be illegal, it should be because you cannot focus on driving as much as you would if you weren't talking. Serious accidents can happen even when you take your attention off of the road for a few seconds.
