i am sorry, perhaps you are unfamiliar with how the hard drive works, you see, if you had constant shaking, something where the buffer didnt have time to be filled back up it skips. this prolly wont happen on a hike, or in a car, or even hitting it with a baseball bat (provided it doesn't break) because there are small pauses. where as when you have a giant athlete like me sprinting down the road, its a constant force shaking the ipod.
here is ONE link, but you can see others like it on epinions, and ipodlounge.com

hope this helps, and look, im not putting apple down, i love apple, i have a mac, and it was the best mp3 player at the time to buy, but it needs major improvement, and has no room in a serious sprinters gym bag.
yeah, i didnt say hike, i said run, and you either dont run that fast, or that hard, or for that long, but its all over the net about how bad the ipod sucks as a running mate mp3 player...
could be, i am over 200 lbs of solid muscle, so my feet hit harder on the ground then those light weights... but regardless, it is where you put your ipod on your body that matters, i wear it on my belt, the ipod cant handle that, it must be carried... im still going to return it though, the battery life sucks on it and its not even a year old. apple did about as shitty of a job as creative labs did on the muvo
the ipod's buffer memory cannot keep it skip proof since it has a physical drive with moving parts, unlike the muvo nx, i am returning my ipod and buying the muvo nx, the ipod just wasnt made to run with, too bad too, i liked the way it looked near my ripped abs..

He is correct and he is not an idiot, after 14 min of running the ipod skips and cannot keep playing. somehow i have the feeling you guys are out of shape and fat....

I hope they make this one more shock proof, if you wear your ipod on your belt and run with it, it skips after 14 min or so...
