iPod troubles while riding...
I recently had an ingenious idea for my ipod. I have a cover on my iPod that has a little arm strap thing, so i wrapped the strap around my handlebar and clip my iPod into the strap and go on riding while being able to select what tunes i listen to and see whats going on. Well, all is well except after a little while of riding my iPod completely freezes and have to give it a hard reset(you press menu and the center button at the same time for like 5 seconds). Anyone else have this problem? I think it could be that the internal memory doesnt have enough time to read ahead or something.

All of the video iPods do have HDDs... I would suggest trying to find a shuffle or nano, and see if you have the same issue...
video iPod = HDD = Moving parts = bad
shuffle/nano = flash memory = no moving parts = happy on bumpy roads.

yes u guys are right. i pod had a hard drive. thats y it skips. i dont think u should use it that way anymore becouse u can and will kill the harddrive(they are over 120 bucks for another drive). the reson it works for a wile and then freezes is becouse it loads the song onto its memory off the hard drive then shuts down the hard drive to save battery(i think it kills the most battery or the lcd i forget)
i have a zen vision 60gb and its a hard drive player i keep it my pocket no problem. u need something to absorb the vibrations. dont belive me??? look on ebay for broken ipods... its almost all that have a harddrive problem.
this is what some of them look like. like the one in your pc but way smaler and it cost a $h1t load more.
