Why would you want to see an iPod video display when you're jogging or cycling? I use playlists or just choose the 'shuffle' mode when I'm using the Shuffle anyway. You can't beat it for $49. I clip it to my bib strap and I can operate the Shuffle right through the Lycra on my jersey like a Star Trek communicator. Cool.
The point of the shuffle is to NOT look but listen. Clip it on, press play and get on with your workout. No time for looking at playlists or pretty album covers when you're working out. Because if you are, then you're not working out very hard are you?
