According to Apple's specs the iPod does have a
hard drive and the maximum operating altitude is 10,000 ft. 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.
