Wind chill measures the effect of wind and temperature on human skin. Wind chill on an inanimate object tells how fast its temperature will drop to ambient, but cannot bring the equivalent temperature below ambient.
Sent from my iPodBurton has pockets for iPods built into its jacket line foe snowboarding,which is generally done at temperatures around or below freezing and at velocities which can cause wind-chill. I've been snowmobiling with my iPods since the 2nd gen. It's always below freezing and we go 30-70mph causing quite the wind chill. Maybe it's bad. But mine so far work just fine. So far anyway. I do tend to upgrade, but so far not broken or killed one. Wait. The video card went dead on a black and white iPod that mega heavy use for a few years. Ymmv obviously.~KM----Spewed from My Advanced Silicon, Plastic & Metal Computational Device Designed to Do Things Such as This While Mobile and Make It Appear Unremarkably SimpleWhile it might function at that temp, most electronics should not be used below 32. It causes problems with the battery and screen.

>>> Our Unique Approach to "Pages"You won't see any gratuitous page turning animations with iFlow because there are no old-fashioned "pages" as such to turn. When you are trying to immerse yourself in story, we believe that such things are distracting.In addition, by eliminating pages, we can offer you a number of ways to navigate through your book so that you can do it in the manner best suited to you and the material at hand. This approach allows us to take full advantage of the advanced capabilities offered by ebooks versus the less flexible paper books of the past.

>>> We think you will like it!Instead of pages, we present the book as a continuous ribbon of material. This allows positioning of your viewing window anywhere on that ribbon instead of forcing the arbitrary page breaks of paper books upon you. You can easily position and move the viewing window of your screen anywhere along this continuous ribbon in the following ways:Manual Scrolling - This is like your email program where you use your finged to move the visible part of the message up and down.Paging - We don't have fixed pages, but the Next and Previous page buttons let you to move forward and back one "screenfull" at a time. It's sort of like pages, but the "page" breaks can be anywhere you want them.Trackball - The virtual trackball let's you change your position in the book much like Manual Scrolling. This is great for those who don't want to get their fingerprints on the screen. Blackberry users will like this.AutoScrolling - This feature lets you read your book much like a teleprompter. You can control the scrolling speed by slightly tilting the screen towards and away from you with or with the Faster/Slower buttons. You can also disable the Tilt Control and set a fixed AutoScroll speed.All of the ways of moving through the text can be used interchangeably any time. If you page forward and you want to adjust the page up or down a little to get exactly what you want on the screen, just drag it up or down a little with your finger or use the Trackball.If you are AutoScrolling and it gets ahead of you, you can just drag it back a little in the same way and when you let go,AutoScrolling will resume at the same speed. You can also do the same thing in the opposite direction to skim over part of the text.AutoScrolling lets you use very large fonts without the distraction of paging every few seconds. If you find AutoScrolling appealing, we suggest that you experiment a bit to find the font size/scrolling speed combination that works best for you. If you normally wear reading glasses, you might find that you can read comfortably with a very large font. Remember also that the buttons and trackball at the bottom of the screen are still there in full screen mode. This mode is best for immersive material.
