iPod iPod Screen Frozen... :-(

[amateurmacfreak]

Ok, I was jogging with my iPod (it was in a cupholder, so not all moving with my movements), and all of a sudden it just stopped. The screen totally froze and my iPod is being non-responsive to eveeerything. It's a 30GB 5G iPod. Shot of what it's doing is included here.
I am just so sad.... will Apple cover this in warranty?????
Oh, I've tried to charge it and to connect it to my comp. NO SUCCESS!! NOTHING RECOGNIZES IT!!
Anyone had this sort of trouble? wtf happened to it??
Oh, also, before it quit I noticed it skipping around from song to song a bit erratically....
I'm just pretty sad and a bit worried about it.
EDIT: forgot to attach pic. gotta take one, then it will be up

This happens sometimes. Just hold MENU and the Center button for 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo on the screen. It will reboot.
