Just bought one - this thing is SWEEEEET. Was released today in Ohio
I bought it as a gift for my wife - I think I am going to have to find a new home for my iPod mini - so I can get a nano too.
A little wider than the shuffle (and I mean a little) - yet thinner - almost credit card thin.
i’m jealous…
me too - she knows that I bought it for her and has suggested I take this and give her my iPod mini
can’t do that - this bad boy is for her - I know she’ll love it
.
Is it small enough where you can shove it in a pocket of your running shorts and run with it? I don’t want to wear an arm-band and hope its light enough to not bounce around too much.
I’m hoping to get mine tonight (provided the store has a few left).
can you use your playlist from your i-pod mini and download it to the nano OR do yuo have to compile a new song list?
i want one bad! I have a shuffle and a mini though…

i’ve had such bad luck with ipods but i was still thinking about buying a shuffle until my buddy told me yesterday his broke after 3 months of running with it. he thinks the sweat F*cked it up. i just don’t think those things were made for use with heavy exercise.
"can you use your playlist from your i-pod mini and download it to the nano OR do yuo have to compile a new song list? "
You can just copy the playlist from iTunes.
I have had to send my 40GB iPod back three times. Turns out the problem was 100% user error - I kept the thing in my car and it just got too hot and would mess up the HD.
I got a shuffle a few weeks ago and haven’t had a problem with it yet. I use an arm band in the Gym and have never actually gotten sweat on it.
The best thing about the Nano is the flash memory - skip free for running and makes the device much, much more durable. Color screen is just bling to me, I rarely take my Shuffle out of shuffle mode, so I don’t need a screen.
I just got a free Mini from Apple through their student union promotion, now I know why it was free.

Is it small enough that I’m garunteed to lose it? Great! It needs to have a “clapper” function or a GPS locator before I’ll buy one that small.
Get a silicone cover for it…I use my 40GB ALL the time …and I do sweat…no problems.
Can you take a picture of it next to something we can all recognize (pack of cards, CD, etc.)? I’m trying to get a better understanding of it’s dimensions.
Plus - without a picture it doesn’t exist.
Thanks
How many days to X-Mas?
when I get home I’ll snap one for you

Seeing as the armbands are $30 ish and they don’t have a sports version yet…
Has anyone just put their ipod in a pocket say in a tri-shirt or pair of tri-shorts?

I run with my iShuffle all the time, carrying in my sweaty hand. Never a problem. I’ve also had no problems with my mini, and before I got the shuffle, I carried the mini to run all the time. I’ve had both a long time (mini for 18 months?; shuffle since about the 3rd day they came out).

I put mine in a zip lock bag to keep it dry. I cut the bags with hot knife to make the right size bag. With a small hole for the headphones.I have and love my shuffle. I like podcasts for a long run day.
For running, use this.

mojo makes a nice armband 2 for $18
