Product of the month

I think the place where you see more iPod per capita than anywhere else is fitness clubs. My iPod has contributed to an improved exercise routine and made my workout more fun.
Apparently, I'm not alone, we get frequent question about what are the best iPod armbands for working out. Since armbands are useful and almost essential for those of us working out on regular basis - we thought we should extract the information from the database and put them all right here in a roundup making comparisons simple.
Here, you'll find armbands that will fit all iPod, Nano, Shuffle and even the Mini and answers to your questions regarding choices, price range and features that we consider important. - Editors
Armbands usually sport a functional design - meant to be used while jogging, biking, lifting or just walking. While many are plain we did find some for those of you that want to "style" while you work out. There are some that are multi purpose, when you're finished working out just clip it to your belt or slip in your pocket.
Before we take a look at armbands check these two products out if you're going to be working out.
Nike
 Nike+ Running shoe designed for iPod sports kit. Slip the transmitter into special location in sole of shoe and your off. Will record your running stats and transmit the information to your iPod for download after workout.
 Sports Kit
Your workout coach with the Nike + iPod Sport Kit
Apple makes this. Transform your iPod nano into a personal workout coach with the Nike + iPod Sport Kit. This wireless sensor and receiver combination works exclusively with your Nike+ shoes and iPod nano to give you real-time feedback during workouts and let you track your performance on your Mac or PC. $29.95
Now, a few things for you to consider before you purchase an armband:
- is it just an armband or can it also be used as belt clip
- is it easy to use i.e. put your iPod in and then remove it.
- does the armband fit all arm sizes - easy to adjust
- does the armband fit and hold on your arm snugly
- does it allow you to "stash" excess earphone cable
- is the armband washable
- can you access your iPod controls while the armband is on your arm
- does it hold the iPod snugly so it can't fall out.
- is it comfortable to wear
