Cold ipods

[Ethan120]

I have never experienced taking any form of hdd's outside(at least not when they are in use). Right now the temperatures outside go as low as -15c. When i get my ipod(next wednesday!), i am afraid i might leave it in my car and it freeze. Is it possible for it to get cold enough to not play? If so, would ipod socks help keep it warm?

check the manual for the ipod's operating temperature range.

an ipod sock might help, but not indefinitely. just try to keep the ipod out of the cold as much as you can.

create a strap that connects the ipod to your "unit"

it will stay warm all the time! and with it being so cold outside, the temperature should even itself out and it won't get too hot OR too cold!

ROFL!

P.S. I'm so sick of my sig being deleted for the reason "TOO BIG!" - I just spent 15 mins making a nice one that was 300x50 px and is less than 5kb.
I understand the mods need to keep up on things, but give me damn break guys - my sig is fine and meets the guidelines - leave it alone!

Check out White Wonder's below mine - his is nearly 18kb! Mine is 3kb!

lol, maaybe, but he'd probably need an ipod mini for it to be snug on his "unit." a regular ipod would be to large.

oho, snap! lol :P

jk man

iPod Socks? Now I've seen it all. The iPod has been elevated to a living breathing thing capable of keeping itself warm as long as it is clothed properly.

Maximum operating altitude: 10,000 feet (3000 m) WTF? i used mine in a plane at 35,000 feet.
still works fine.
why would it stop working at 10,000 feet anyway?

The air pressure i think. Lots of things dont work in high places, like plasma tvs
