Just got a new ipod 60GB w/ video and I'm wondering if I can go on long
runs with it?

I know it has 20 minute shock protection (from the apple web site) but
does anyone know if contant jarring (probably strapped to my arm on w/
a arm strap) will damage the iPod?

Thanks

I have a 60 GB iPod from the previous generation (so it's heavier than
yours) and I've been taking it on runs since last summer with no
apparent ill effects.

I use an XtremeMac armband case. Just wraps around my upper arm.

My only advice on these armband cases would be to shop around for one
that covers as little surface area as possible. Mine covers a large part
of my upper arm and collects sweat, much of which ends up coating the
back of the iPod, which I have to then wipe off when I get home. Maybe
that's inevitable no matter which case you use, and as far as I can tell
it has done no damage to the iPod. It's just kinda gross.
