That's pretty cool, didn't know those products existed. It's funny, I guess the stores around here don't carry those.

The iPod itself isn't a great thing, supposedly the processor on it is too underpowered to support many audio formats anyway. Might as well get something cheaper if you can, the iPod Mini especially doesn't have many features compared to the other products. I just didn't see anything else in any flyers like what you posted.

Still, with a hard disk player VS a flash player (though the Mini contains a Mini HD but I didn't think that would be so succeptible), and the fact that he wants to jog, wouldn't jogging + hard disk = bad sectors, with the hard disk read/write head constantly being jostled?
