Apple drops the price of iPod

It does use a hard drive for storage. However, the hard drive is only in use about every 20 minutes or so, when the songs in RAM run out and it's got to load a few more (there's 32MB of RAM internal to the device that songs are loaded into for play). I personally think you'd be alright jogging with it, but you may want to google for "jogging ipod" or something and read other peoples' success with that.

FYI, my original iPod (which is now Jenni's) has been dropped twice. Once was on the plane back from California in April - my dad dropped it from about 3 feet onto the airplane floor. The other was in a store, when Jenni dropped it from about chest height onto a tiled floor in either Wal Mart or Target. It's worked fine after both spills, so I have to endorse it as "pretty solid".
