my last one was a 40 gig 3rd gen that went kapoot after i ran with it for a few months. i took it to the 'convoluted bar' at the nearest apple store and he was like, your hard drive is toast.
i got a BRAND new 8 gig touch and am wondering if i can run with that. id hate to lose another mp3, it scked not having one of them for 2 years. thanks |

I don't know much about computers, but I know a lot about Mp3 players. Ipods have madnetic disk hard drive much like a computer. Hard drives like the ones in Ipods are sentive to shock, activies that require actions like jumping up and down, shaking,and running apply stress on hard drives. My advice my a cheap 20 dollar mp3 player from walmart so when it breaks you won't be out 400.00 bucks when it goes.

I have a 4 gig nano. I use an elastic armband holder (got if for about 5 bucks on amazon). Had it for about 3 years, no problems.

I'm going to have to agree with this guy (minus the typos  )and say I would definitely NOT run with the ipod touch. The smaller ipods like the shuffle are more similar to a thumb drive or memory card and would not be phased by regular movement. An ipod touch or any other larger capacity ipod that has a moving hard drive inside (you can hear it spinning inside when the ipod is in use) is not a good choice for lots of activity.

The iPod touch uses solid state storage, so there is no drive head to bounce around.
Running with it should be fine. |

I just got my Touch a couple of days ago and am still learning about it. It did come with a Nike application for different workouts. So I can not see it being a problem. If you fine out different please let me know and I will go back to using my Nano for the gym.

So far so good. I'm using it right now! I can see lots of tome wastes in my future with this thing!
