I'm thinking about getting an Ipod, I was just wondering how it holds up to impact (like during a jog). From what I hear, the Ipod is basically a HD, which can be quite sensitive to movement. Thanks.

You can run with it. Not a problem at all.

It's quite sturdy, and you can run with it. You just need to buy a third party case that works. I'm still looking :)

I have this. (http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=308495&pfp=BROWSE)

I've had two iPods: a first gen., and a third gen. with longer anti-skip time. I've never had any trouble with skipping, and apparently the 4th gen is even better as far as this is concerned. If you get the mini, you can purchase a third party arm band. Usually, if I run with mine, I'll just hold it 'cause I don't like the bumping when it's clipped to my pants. I use an iSkin case for protection.

I love my iPod.

the ipod has a 20 minute memory chip thing in its structure that allows the harddisc to bump/skip/etc and play smoothly for that duration of itme

well that settles is, I'm gettin me an Ipod :)

I run with it in the mornings, bike with it to work, listen to it while doing tissue culture work... it's amazing!

I got one of those sports bands that goes on your arm. It works very well. :love: :love:

I would have to agree that the iPod is possibly the sweetest techno gadget ever invented. I can't get enough of mine. I should have been smarter like other people and exchanged mine for the 40 gb-er for a mere $72, but, oh well. I've put sooooo much music on this things, and I've used 4 gb. GET ONE!

I am also planning on buying an iPod but am a little confused. When you download the mp3 files, can you only download them from iTunes? Or can you get the mp3's from any online provider?

You can get MP3 files from wherever you want and transfer them to your iPod.
