Does the Ipod Touch battery "overcharge" when plugged into usb/laptop? (for hours)

[Antx777]

Got a Ipod touch 32, and read that you "DO" overcharge the ipod battery when left on a charger, or you DONT overcharge the ipod battery when left on a charger- so who is right http://www.modmyi.com/forums/general-iphone-chat/184861-can-iphones-overcharge.html

It's okay b/c it's Li-Ion and this means that Apple provided internal mechanisms to stop the iPhone from overcharging
