It's pretty cold right now and I like to go running anyway. So I took my iPod with me yesterday and it froze (happened to me twice this winter, no problems in the summer). It's about -15 °C here, so did anyone figure out a simple solution to keep it warm for say half an hour, fourtyfive minutes?

Tuck it inside your clothes so it is against your skin while you jog - that should work...

i would also recomend putting it in an inside pocket, but be warned, the cold temps drematicly reduces the life of the battery and the amount of charges it holds, at least thats what kill a few of our cell phones.

Well, I'll try that. I can't run with that, because I hate stuff in my pockets when I run (even keys), so I usually take the iPod in my hand.
