Can I take my xda along in the winter when skiing? Do I need a padded bag/pocket because of possible temperatures under the freezing point?
Absolutely. You must distinguish between only taking it along or using it, because the display only functions badly or not at all with minus degrees. The fluid crystals in the LC-display can suffer irreparable damage if they freeze with temperatures less than ten degrees. However, what is rarely printed in the manuals, is that rapid temperature changes can very frequently lead to faulty devices. When a device switches between cold and warm temperatures, condensate forms within the device, which these small devices do not like at all, since they are also active when shut off.
