Im thinking about getting the new ipod nano so I can use it while skiing/working out/etc. I noticed they have some new shake feature that shuffles the song when you shake the ipod. Does anyone know if this function can be turned off? I can only see this being annoying as hell when doing anything like skiing.

I don't have one but my guess would be to put it on HOLD.

get an ipod touch...it will change your life for the better.

You can get an old model refurbished off apples website for 199.

It takes so much force to change the song. It will not accidentally change on you. I was surprised how hard you have to shake the new nano to get it to change.

If you turn on Hold, will it still shuffle when you shake it?

Thanks for the replies, Thats basically the only thing thats been holding me back from getting it. I don't need any of the applications that the itouch has since my cellphone already does most of em and I need somethin small and durable for skiing with. I kinda figured there had to be some way around the shake feature since a lot of people buy nanos for different shit.

Any cons to the new nanos??
