Oh, that's pretty good. I have mine in an awful spongy grey thing because then when I drop it, it doesn't smash into bits. But that red color might even match my laptop.

Yes. It just shuffles the songs in whatever playlist you have loaded. Or you can play the playlist straight.

If you do playlists right, the shuffle is enough even for Penske to finish a triathlon.

Mine's actually raspberry-colored, and I love it. No car theme, though.

I'll let you know. The odds of it happening are great if I end up buying the nano.
My bottom of the line hr monitor was eaten by a puppy in the teething stages, and I haven't bothered to replace it. The Polar people said that it happens quite a bit, and I think they have a strap replacement program if I can find all the pieces to send back to them.

I have a leather In Case Nano holder that ilike a lot. Black case, black Nano, if that matters. I was going to post a pic, but it turns out the "in case" brand is not that easy to google. Bad for them, I guess.
On an unrelated topic, since this board is active today, we just got a new Directv DVR hooked up last night and I'm having a bit of trouble adjusting from my Tivo mindset. Have people found the non-Tivo DVR's to be easy to use? The season pass equivalent seems a bit harder to learn and I'm finding that this DVR doesn't hold the tv schedule for as far in advance as the Tivo did, so, for example, I'm not able to input America's Next Top Model yet (the show doesn't show up in the search list) even though the first episode is Sept. 20th.
Finally, do you have to do something extra in order to get the HD stations from CBS, Fox, etc.? When we go into HD Channels, we can't get the feed from CBSE or FOXW, etc.
Gracias. |

Correct. But the ipod shuffle really never has to be recharged. Perfect for 12 hour car rides or 12 hour plane rides. Ipod NANO dies in about 2 hours.
New ones seem to have improved battery life. |

Nike+. It's a dodad that you put in your shoe that talks to your nano. Tells you how long you've run, how far, what your pace is. It'll also download the data of your runs so you can keep track of progress without having to write anything down.

This really doesn't help you, but I've had the same issue w/ the DirecTV dvr. We have TiVo in the living room (same box we've had for years) and recently got the DirecTV box for the bedroom. I really don't like the DirecTV one. So much less user friendly than TiVo. |

You have to call fucking Directv and tell them you'd like to receive those channels. Why they don't just give them to you is a mystery to me. As long as you've paid for the HD and you've paid for the "local" (fucking cable monopoly bastards) channels, they should just send you the fucking local HD channels.
eta you will only be able to get CBSW not CBSE, same with NBC and ABC and FOX.

Sorry, late. Thanks for the links. Mr. Practical thinks we should pay off the car instead (meanie), so Santa will have to bring me a new DC.
OK, new and probably stupid question....I know there is some sort of DVR machine thingie like TIVO that does not require any sort of subscription and isn't wired into any service - can anyone name it?

What is the model of this phone? I will be in the market for a new phone, probably with Verizon in the next month or two. I need suggestions. My current phone (a cheap Samsung picture phone) sucks monkey balls* and I don't want another sucky phone for the next 5 or so years. I'm changing to Verizon assuming that Mr. Man's new fully subsidized work phone/blackberry is on Verizon. Otherwise no limitations (other than my PDA and phone will remain separate devices). I really liked my old Nokia phone but Samsung has sucked... Awful text messaging.
Thoughts?
*Yes, flinty is pretty psyched about this. |

For years I resisted Nike shoes.....now I like them. The less competitive/slower I got the more the lure of Nike worked on me.
Whatever happened to the Brooks fission.....or fusion?
