ipod nano or shuffle for gym?? Difference?

I got my nano, and I am thinking nano looks so elegant and hip. Shuffle is more like girl's stuff. However, have to get a case especially with armband for my nano

Andrew,

If you sweat like a horse, I would recomend a sport case for a suffle. This will protect the salt from your sweat from seeping into the lanyard cap and rusting the USB port (check rusty posts in the Shuffle use forum)

Otterbox offers a sportcase that is submersible (3 feet in water) that is actually better protection than Apple's "splash resistent/ dust resistent" sport case. The Otterbox case is the same price as Apple's, but not as pretty, but a heck of a lot more durable!

If you ever go nano, Otterbox is developing a box for that too!

Definitely buy the case for the shuffle. I managed to murder two of them with my sweat. Also, I just bought a nano, wrapped in plastic and went for a run and now oddly the buttons aren't working. Never had any issue with my old 10 gig ipod..other than it feeling like an 8-track player now after running with the smaller ipods.

I got my black nano and am planning to get a armband.

I wear my black nano in a pink armbad when I go running everyday. So far it has worked out great, the nano doesn't move in the band at all and is easy to control from my upper arm.
