anyone with an ipod..

[cocaine]

taken it on a plane?


Maximum operating altitude: 10,000 feet (3000 m)

Under "enviromental requirements"

[benjamin]

ooer, is that just for the nano yeah?

[cocaine]

yeahh.

[Nick.]

I've taken my Mini on a plane, not my video yet though. Should be ok, because when you're in a plane it's like being in a normal enviroment. I think it may be because of the pressure. :)

[GommeInc]

That's... oddd... The operating temperatures are terrible too?

[Ashhizzle]

LOl, i haven't been on a plane since i got mine, so no ;]

[Browney]

Planes would'nt matter. They regulate a certain pressure?

[Mr.Sam]

i took my nano on a plane and used it, still works a year later :8

yeahh


Operating temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
Nonoperating temperature: -4° to 113° F (-20° to 45° C)

How do they know the operating height? It can't be in a plane, because they should know pressure is different?

The operating temperatures are just odd, any other MP3 player can survive -4 temperatures and still work?

Maybe they meant 10,000ft outside.

Like, up a mountain or somewhere.

[Mr.Sam]

mine survived the plane journey to Canada and whilst there so -15 ish..

Probably made them up on the spot :P I forgot about mountains, so probably thats where the height thing comes in.

[YoManGo!]

Mine survived a plane journey to Ireland just fine.

[Leuven]

You can use it.

It wont really mess up the systems.

They say only things with CD's can mess up the systems.

[Samster]

I've had mine on a plane and it worked fine, t'was ipod video though

As dumb as this may sound, maybe the LCD screens will freeze/melt LOL. Also, phones and electricals are always all perfect on and aeroplane and I don't think there's ever been an electrical that does interfere with the jets. However they say, "don't take yours on a plane" because the technology is changing dramatically all the time and there could be the chance that a new model of something comes out which could mess up the plane.

Considering they have 'portable device' vending machines on almost all airports here (they sell iPods and PSPs mostly), I don't really think it would be an issue. o_O

[joshuar]

I took my Mini up there to the USA. It doesn't apply to planes, email apple and say they should make it more clear on the site ;)

[Hecktix]

Lmao, you read my mind I was going to post this in the next week because I'm going to poland and wanted to know if my ipod would work on the plane :p

[Browney]

I think -4° is fairly reasonable... I can't think where I'll be if the temperature reaches below -4°

I'm pyschic. (sp)

[Liberation]

Mine was fine on a plane.

[:Hazel]
