I wouldn't risk it, unless you just want to get a new iPod every once in a while, after the disk drive crashes. The iPod nano uses a flash drive (no moving parts so the disk won't fail due to reduced air density) but it is also rated for a maximum operating altitude of 10,000 ft. Maybe they're just being conservative, or heat becomes an issue at the max operating temp (95F) above 10,000 ft, or maybe they simply didn't test any higher than 10,000 ft. I'd go with the nano.
