I have one, too. It's the newest one (30 GB). And there is actually a possibility to determine the Volume Limit. You can find it in Settings - Volume Limit. I wonder, if this is being integrated in European iPods only? There are some laws here in Europe prohibiting too high volume levels in devices like the iPod. Because of that the European firmware is different from the US version: apart from the settings I mentioned above, there is a volume limit in the firmware that cannot be activated or changed - of course, there are hacks available in the internet to deactivate this firmware thing, but I am glad that the firmware is the way it is - so why change it? :) It’s sort of strange that you don’t have the possibility to set up the maximum volume on your iPod video.
