What iPod is the best for shooting hoops? I'm supposed to get one next week; up to $400; since I want to go back to the gym in a few weeks to start regularly, music helps. Had an 80gb iPod but sold it, not the easiest to use when shooting around. What's the best? For: Putting in pocket while shooting No skipping Strong, don't break easy Long battery life (zune?)
A portable player while shooting hoops? Are you serious about playing basketball? You must be kidding. IMO its impossible to listen to your ipod while playing basketball. Go buy a CD player or something like that cheap and put it somewhere in the gym it should be enough.
I'm not talking about playing intense games. When I am just shooting around before friends show up I prefer to listen to music. When people my age show up, I keep it on because they are EZ but when the college/uni guys show up I actually focus and throw it to the side... iPod mini is blah, I want video at least that displays the songs and stuff...
Warming is not intense, but it is intese in enough to make your player get out of the pocket and fall on the ground. Besides warming is the shortest in time period action. I can tell you by my personal experience that it is impossible for you to make a lay up or a little dunk with it in your pocket. Once i dunked two handed while i was wating for the other guys and my cell phone fell on the asphalt and the back of it is full of scratches. I still regret that day.
Busted Lol but sometimes the guys working there (a gay guy) complain cause he listens to like scream-o lol
Lol your too cool I'd rather have one actually, I don't like listening to speakers, I rather headphones any suggestions? I'm thinking Zune 80
Zune its good. But let me tell that listening with headphones i worse. It really damages your ears!! Its no game its your health really think about it. Whats the use of headphones? There is no real bumo. I like huge speakers bumpining hard. You like rap....so speakers is the perfect solution, imo.
Well, Any flash player really, so the iTouch, Nano in addition to the SanDisk, iRiver, Creative and Cowon flash players would do the trick. Anything hard drive based would be a biiiiiiiiiiiiiig mistake (i.e. 'regular' iPods and i think the Zune has flash versions of their players tho they only 4 & 8gigs) since hard drives are always suspect being moving devices that'll crap up if ya give it one shock too many, so runnin & coming down from continuous jumping would be a device failure waiting to happen, if not that then you would at least be getting the annoyance of skipping since the HD would have to spin up once in awhile to feed memory into the player's RAM so you'd almost come to skip problems as bad as what you'd get from a CD player if you're doing anything right in that "read from drive" moment. Of course the tradeoff is that flash isn't up there with hard drive based players as far as storage goes for the price. Thus something like saaay... the iPod touch 16GB is priced as high as some nicely featured 30GB players that's hard drive based since the Touch is flashed based. Thus if you was to go the flash route and want the most storage for the money the best options is to get say a Cowon D2 which comes in 4 & 8GB but has SDHC slot for 16gb storage capabilities (and soon 32) and the Creative Zen flash players which now go up to 32GB of built in storage. Would go more in depth then I already have but in short... flash player for physical activities = good ... hard drive = baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad Hope that helps ^_^
you want to listen to it while playing basketball, yet you want a video on it so you see the song names... How would you have time to play basketball and look at the screen?
Mini works. I've used it for hours on hours and it is still true to me. BTW get the strap -- it's ace.
