The hard drive iPods are known to having some limitation of how high you can go, before there's an issue with lost air cushion between head and disk. That altitude is subject to debate but lets say some say as low as 10,000 feet, others higher, say FL180.
Regardless what if you could keep your G4 iPod in a pressurized container? Great they have these water proof "otter" cases but getting to the controls was an issue. Well I came across this device for the G4 iPod.

In the link above, in the text towards the bottom is a video
that is very interesting. "For a demonstrational video ..........."
Right now they don't have a case for the Video iPods or older 3G iPods, however it is cool. Go swimming with your iPod. With a sealed case it should keep the pressure in the case at altitude. Obviously it is designed for positive pressure. I am not sure how it would handle negative pressure.
Of course the mini and nano iPods do not use a hard drive so they are better suited for the lower atmo and vibration in a little plane.
