If you have an iPod and you are planning to take it above 10,000 feet (a not uncommon occurrence for many of us here in Colorado), don't do it! Check out this article from a Coloardo Springs TV station where they tested one at over 10,000 feet of altitude and it ruined their player! Regarding their test, they say, in part:
"At first when we turned it on, it seemed to work fine, until we tried to play a song. The i-POD began making a clicking sound and it struggled to play. We later found out that every time it made a clicking sound, it was the [device] reader scratching our hard-drive. At one point it gave us a sad face and then we had a hard time turning the device off. The best advice is not to turn it on when you are above 10,000 feet. The i-POD instructional manual does say there is an altitude limitation. If you do chances are good Apple will not cover it under it's manufactures warranty."
