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.
I tried that too but noticed how much perspiration builds up on the bib straps that I was concerned about damaging the shuffle. I just throw it in the jersey pocket and let it play. (Note to self: remove my daughter's lullaby songs from playlist - it's not conducive to interval workouts)
