I always kept my resistive touchscreen devices safely in an inner pocket if it was cold enough for thick gloves (of course, people's thermostats vary; I'm talking about down in the 40's Fahrenheit or below). I've seen too many reports of screens getting permanently damaged at low temperatures.

I'm not sure about the effects of cold on capacitative screens; never seen anything about it. Seems like condensation, at least, would be a problem with any electronic device subjected to rapid temperature changes, though.
