I would think it'd work fine. Depending on how large the buffer is and how much shock protection it has, you might even get away with jogging with it.

haha yea i think i would cry... the thing is supposed to initially retail at 400 :Q

and i think it only has 8 mb buffer.

but 15 hour battery life... sweet screen + remote... fm player (and soon to be fm recording)... good company... *sigh* if only they would release the damn thing in the states faster!

Only 8mb buffer? Well that sucks, that's only like a second with my 64000kbps mp3s. Shoot!
