Jog Your iPod To Death
Sunday, June 11th, 2006
Working out is generally good for you but it could be hazardous to our favourite iPod. Too much bumps and shakes, like jogging for example, can literally kill your iPod.
Does this mean that you can’t workout with an iPod? Kinda makes the Nike+iPod thing pointless then. Of course you can still workout with your iPod - as long as it’s not the 30GB or 60GB video kind.
Say what?
Well, the 30GB and 60GB iPods have harddrives inside for storage. This means tiny weenie movable parts are needed to make it work. So, jogging and working out with these iPods is kinda like running with your desktop harddrive - it will probably survive for a while but the long term health is not guaranteed.
If you want an iPod that can survive shocks better, then get the iPod nano or the likes.

The Nike+iPod only works with the nano anyways. So, no, it’s NOT pointless.
