Title: mp3 players are NOT made for the gym
Product review: This applies to the Iomega HipZip as well. I had two of those and one Nomad II within the span of 3 months this past year. I carried them to & from work & to the gym every day. Though I never dropped any of the players, the HipZips both stopped working in a couple of weeks. The Nomad lasted longer but did die after three weeks. I finally washed my hands. Disappointed cause I'm seeing in the reviews that all the 6gb players aren't recommended for "sports use" either. Isn't as if I want to play football with them in hand, but being able to jog on a treadmill would be nice.One guy from mp3 devices.com tried to make me feel as if it was my fault and said, accusingly, "You should be able to throw these against the wall & they'd still work." Ya, right.I won't buy another portable mp3 player until the technology improves.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
