What is it about DVD/CD players on take off and landing ?

It is not just DVD/CD its all electronic equipment - video's, ipods, digital cameras etc - think they worry about interference - if you send a text message once the aircraft is moving it makes a noise and put lines all over the computer screens in the flight deck!
