Im guessing apple won't make this work, they are trying to get people to buy a new nano, but what do you think the chances are of the nike adapter working with the ipod w video? I refuse to buy a new ipod just for that, hahaha.
There are a fair few people moaning about the lack of 5G support on the ilounge website too. They could make it compatibile fairly easily - all it will need is an update to the firmware. It has been suggested the 5G is off teh list becasue a) Its too big to work out with b) it has moving parts more open to shock errors.
I've got a nano and a 60GB 5G and I discount the 5G for running the gym solely on its size. The nano is perfect for running so I can't fault Apple for that....
