Gee all sort of people can talk themselves out of an ipod,it seems. :-)

Cult of Mac: "iPods Not Meant For Use on Mt. Everest
Topic: iPod

Ipodeverest When the best newspaper in the country gets a bunch of people to bash you, you know you've got something special. That's apparently what's happened between Apple's iPod and the Washington Post, which actually ran another anti-iPod rant over the weekend in a section they call 'iPod Jeers,' which is meant to be counter-acted by an equally none-too-tech-savvy featured called 'iPod Cheers.'

This one, though, is almost too much to believe. Neal Mueller, a first year MBA student at the Wharton School of Business goes on a rant about how his iPod died when he needed it most: On top of Mt. Everest while he was jamming out to Van Halen!

READ THAT AGAIN.

Yes, the problem with the iPod is that it won't work dozens of degrees below its recommended operating temperature and tens of thousands of feet above its optimal altitude, not that its owner and his crew were a bunch of dorks.
