Can someone help me with what the point of this product is? The ipod nano does clip onto your shirt, which is how I use it at the gym, so what makes this product worth buying?

I'm betting the point is with this product you can strap your iPod to your wrist rather than having to clip it to your shirt. In my book this is a brilliant innovation. I use my iPod when I ride my motorcycle and this puppy is just the thing I've been looking for. Rather than clipping it to my shirt or shirtsleeve I can have the iPod on my wrist where I can quickly and safely glance at it and access the controls with out having to fumble around. The cord to the earbuds can be conveniently routed up the sleeve of my jacket rather than flopping in the wind. I guess if you only consider this product for one activity you might wonder about its usefulness. But I can think of a ton of different activities where this would be just the ticket.

I have never used an ipod. But, as far as I understand, its looks resemble an ipod. But, it is surely not as sophisticated. More or less agree with all the other answers.

My friend gave me one for free. It works great with my 3rd gen Nano. It adds the "radio" function to the ipod menu. I have used it simply for the remote option (not in radio mode) and didn't notice the extra drain on the battery that others complain about.

It's like a small pager. It would definitely bounce around and probably fall off at the bottom of your shirt. I clip mine at my shirt neckline, towards the inside, tucked in, with my sports bra holding it down... which works if you are female. If not, then I suggest clipping it to your pants at your waist.

It is longer than I would like, but I always run the cord down behind me instead of in front so it's not a problem for running. I clip a ipod shuffle to the hem of my shirt on the left side and go. No problem. I never use headphones for weight workouts, so I don't know if I'd have the same experience then.

Thanks, that helped a lot. I just looked up the ipod nano vidio and realized that it does everything the classic does, it's just smaller. It even costs less. I also wasn't able to find any complaints on it, which is much more than can be said for the classic. Thanks again, I'm going to get that instead now and probably save myself a lot of disappointment.

Nano is a waste of money, the 8 Gig is the same price as the 30 Gig. I workout 4 days a week w/ the 30 Gig not 1 problem. Your boyfriend will love it, and not look like a dork carrying a Nano!!

My workout shorts are too thick for the clip to fit perfectly. I usually have to either put it in my pockets or on the machine while I work out. I can walk with it on no problem. You may have a difficult time clipping it to workout shorts depending on how thick they are. I don't think it would clip well to a workout shirt since the fabric, at least on mine, are too thin. My main purpose of getting it was for work more than the gym. I do find that it doesn't skip if its in my pocket.

What was the price? that should give you some idea of what the answer is. No, you'll have to buy the ipod separately. However, it looks, feels, and functions really well on my wrist. I did need to remove two links first, at a watch store. And the ipod that it attaches to is a nice little player. If you like to dance around the house listening to your favorite music, you will love the mobility and the attention you will get wearing it. At least I do. Hope you do too if you buy them both (separately of course).

Basically other than the shape/size there are two basic differences. I will only go into the one since I am assuming you want to know why the nano is priced as high as the video. Basically the difference is that the 30GB Video uses a Harddrive whereas the 4GB Nano uses Flash memory. Flash Memory is solid-state, in other word no moving parts. A harddrive is constantly spinning while in use. So whats the big deal? Being as flash has no moving parts less battery power is used to "put it in motion" therefore the battery will last much longer. Also without those moving parts it is less prone to shock damage, making it a perfect candidate for jogging. And again without moving parts flash has been know to last longer. So does that make the Video a bad player? No The battery still lasts for as much time as anyone would need it too, It can still be used for jogging, but the player may not last as long. What it all comes down to it when and how you use it determines what you should get. I don't jog much and have a large collection of music so I got the 30GB iPod. My friend goes jogging every morning and she has a large music collection as well, she bought the Nano and loves it, not all of the music will fit on it at once, but 4GB is still a lot of music. Just a few thinks to think about before you buy

Yes it is. I am very happy with my iPod Nano. Sounds good and works great. I bought two of them and recorded my CD collection to iTunes and uploaded to the iPod. Worked great with no problems. I bought the iPod after I spent hours trying to get a Sensa Clip+ to same thing and have never been able to get it to work.

Yes, it has a clip on the back, similar but not identical to the shuffle. It clips into the armband that I purchased for it, never falls out. I don't clip it to my clothing though. I suppose it would hold on but I don't like to take the chance that it could fall off.

It is VERY bulky. It's designed to be foolproof, so it's almost like a bumper. I used my ipod in a gym where it's constantly being dropped, so it suits that need very well, but for something you want to keep in your pocket, there are probably better options

I run the extra cord through my shirt. This can work for sleeve holding or belt holding of the iPod. The shirt holds it close to your body so there is no bouncing or catching on anything.

My wife's mac isn't cooperating with her new Clip. Any special steps you took to get it to work? I'm a PC guy, so I'm no help figuring this stuff out. Her IT guy at work - Mac environment - suggested an iPod... of course.

if your ipod has a protective case, you would have to take that case off and slide the ipod in the armband. it is a bit hard to get it all the the way in whilst on your upper arm. but other thatn that it work perfect and i love it. for the price and the purpose to me its worth it.
