Skatepod

I need help buying a new ipod i have a 5.5g ipod with video but i skateboard and don't want to use it while i skate cuz its bigger and i don't want to break it so the ipod shuffle seems IDEAL for skating but i was also thinking about the ipod nano (with vid) but its a bit more pricey so what do you all think?

PS: i dont really need video on the player but it would be a nice feature.

The shuffle is the optimal component for an active lifestyle even better than the nano in my opinion.

Get a shuffle if:
- you can manage having 240 songs, in random order without choosing
- you don't want a screen to mess up
- you don't need video or photos

Get a nano if:
- you need more than 240 songs
- you want to pick and choose your songs
- you want video/photo/games
- you need manual management

For just playing music the shuffle is the best option hands down, you can clip it anywhere don't need to fiddle with a screen or in your pockets for it, you generally don't need to go back and forth through songs I mean after all you'll probably load all your favorite songs.

thanks for the replies and i think i will get a 2g nano cuz i have my 5.5g ipod for vids.

why would you recommend something that you have that has broken? that really doesn't make sense. if i had something and it broke, i would not recommend it to others.
