It works fine with my powerbook, and my old roommate used the armband with his to jog and never had a problem. If I actually ran frequently then I'd let you know firsthand, but that really cuts into my drinking time.
I might take you up on that. Does your powerbook have USB 2.0? Cause mine doesn't.

Hmm. I'm not sure actually. It's a 12" 867 mhz power PC G4, so it's pretty old. How would I find out? It's not under the USB tab in "About This Mac".

EDIT - According to this it's two 1.1 ports.

It doesn't. I have that exact same computer.

Got me a new iPod. Why can't they use firewire? I don't get it. The pin slot on the new iPod is exactly the same as the old model. If you hook up your old firewire cable you'll get a message saying that it isn't supported and to use USB 2.0. It will still charge that way though. Why?

Someone told me that if you only play songs off a playlist, you can run w/o it freezing.

So far, so good - it hasn't frozen up on me since.

That wasn't the case with my old one. I got a Nano this time, flash memory, no moving parts, won't skip no matter what.

New generation iPods likely end of next week (sorry GK).

The Firewire chipset was removed from the iPods so that they could make them as small as they are now. Also saves money.
