TP or Ipod touch 2g for excercing

[andyandmarlys]

coming from a htc touch. Wondering if id do better with an ipod for jogging or is the touch pro light enough to use? i like how thin the ipod is, and some of its features, but don't necessarily want 2 redundant devices anyone with experience with both ?

Touch pro is both a little thicker and a little heavier than the ipod. For comparasion in terms of excercising I would use the diamond - that is of course if you don't need the keyboard, card expansion and video out.

i work out 5 days a week several hours a day with my touch pro in my pocket and it does just fine i know the ipod might be lighter but you can get the same features ast the ipod touch on your touch pro so there is no real reason to have 2 devices.

What are you using for headphones?

right now im just using the stock headphones i was thinking about using the adapter that comes with it to use some other headphones but these are proving to be pretty good also with my set up i have s2p open up when i plug my headphones in so i can just plug and play. i also have a set of bluetooth headphones that work great for jogging.

Sorry to OP for veering a little off track, but this could be useful too. Just out of curiosity what BT stereo headsets do you use? I've tried many but sweat keeps making them fall out of my ears!

just internal cushy style plugs for headphones. can you even get nice headphones for the tp? i hate the dongle adapters. wish they came with a standard headphone jack. have diamond now, but really want real keyboard. cant even spell exercisingright with this tiny keyboard(even though it covers half the screen

You can buy a straight usb to 3.5mm adapter that's a lot less smaller than the dongle you are refferring to. I think they sell them over at seidioonline.com. It'll still add some overall length to the headphones but it shouldn't be too bad I would think. You can find it here. I would double check though to make sure that they're the same usb connectors for the mogul and the touch pro. http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductD...=ADA-11PM35FST

I ran 9 miles the other day with the TP since I was on call. Didn't really notice it since it's compact and light (lighter than a small bottle of water). It negates the need for a laptop as it can VPN, RDP, SSH/telnet, etc. into work but in a much more pocketable package.

i use the motorola s9 i believe they were the red ones that were thin and wrapped around the back of the head and ill try to get you a link to them.
