But the Nano's and the Mini's don't have this problem as they use solid state memory for the storage area. The regular Ipods may experience this at 10K or above.

Subject: [LML] Re: iPod Hard Drive Crash

I believe 10,000 pressure altitude is the normal upper limit. Some have survived higher, some have not. Earl

A while ago there was a thread on hard drives breaking down at altitude due to the decrease in cushioning air between the disk and the read/write head. I understand that the iPod is based on a hard drive - will the same thing happen to an iPod? At what altitude? Anyone with any experience?
