Microdrive and exercise.
I was wondering from those people who have a microdrive. I am thinking about purchasing a 4gb Seagate microdrive to store music and movies. However, I often use my axim when I go jogging, being that the microdrive is literally a small hard drive. Do you think I could damage the drive from the bouncing around thats bound to happen from jogging? Let me know what you think, and if youve had any experiences with the situation. Thanks!

many mp3 players have hard drives in them and people use them all the time while exercising; I haven't heard of one them breaking.

I suppose that the potential is there but I have never heard of anything bad happening.

No, jogging won't damage the drive or make it skip. Dropping it while it is running, however, may. Just be sure you have a good, secure way to carry your Ax while Axercising.
