    Do mini iPods work on airplanes?

    As long as the battery doesn't die, they'll work on a plane, or on a train. Green eggs and ham and all that too... :p

    Yes, it will. Contact the airline, and ask if there might be a security rule issue concerning electronic devices.

    i hear they don't let laptops on planes :confused: cause you can make a bomb with some parts in it or something :rolleyes:

    they say you can use them during flight but not during take off or landing. laptops aren't allowed because they fall under the "communication devices" category.

    I fly at least once a month and always use my laptop on the plane. As was said earlier though, must turn it off during take off and landing.

    They will make you take it out of the back when going through security.

    Well, since this thread was actually about ipods, yes, of course they work on a plane.

    ipods work on planes, so do any devices so long as they are not transmitting radio signals.

    Laptops are allowed, as long as you can unplug/turn off any wireless internet adapter you may have.

    but if you're considering an Ipod Mini, consider a Creative Zen Micro also ;) http://www.creative.com/zenmicro/welcome.asp?w=main

    better battery life, sound quality, and the whole shebang IMO.

    You can get win98 drivers for them, but I don't THINK iTunes works on 98 (I might be wrong)

    You have to use an older version of itunes, the latest one is 4.7 and i think you need something like version 4.1 for 98, might be wrong there.
