The quintessential iPod for jogging is still the Shuffle because of the clip and the small size ...
… But if you have a 4th generation iPod Nano and you're into sports, you're going to have a problem.
If you activate the option (I still don't know if it can be activated and deactivated) to change the song by shaking the iPod and go for a run or go on a mountain bike or in a 4 × 4, you will have the feeling that your iPod is a record player and that every time there is a bump or you take a quick step the needle jumps to the next song.
The tallest ones we will remember those "small" record players that called themselves comediscs, they were portable and allowed to listen to a single format disc but you had to be careful not to shake it too much since although they were designed so that the arm of the needle was resistant to movements slight leaps with some ease. East iPod Nano It is a nice invention to remember old times with those comediscs Like the guy in the photo.
In the iPod nano manual it says that the shake option can be disabled and you can also configure it to lock by putting or removing the hold button
It's not for nothing but it seems to me that I don't think it's going to be like that either, right that no matter how much you move a touch from side to side, the image doesn't go horizontal? why? Well, why to make it horizontal you have to put the touch completely horizontally, and if you look at steve jobs when he changed songs in shake mode you will realize that the ipod puts it horizontally, so I don't think it will to be a record player, when you run either you have it in your pocket, your hand (uncomfortable) or tied, whatever the option I doubt that it spends all the time circling, whether in the hand, pocket or tied, it will always remain in one direction, and as Luis says, by putting it on hold it is impossible for the song to be changed, so let's not exaggerate, xD
You are right, but I was amused by the comparison with the comedic. hehehe
