[X4U] iPods in cold weather

[Michael Winter]

I wouldn't think the cold itself would be a problem, but that's not  
my area of expertise so take it for what its worth.

Personally, I'd be more worried about water condensation when going  
from that kind of cold to indoor temperatures. I don't know if you  
wear glasses, but if they're fogging over, so is your iPod.

Just something else to worry about...
