it is!!, gorgeous playlist by the way..
I was telling someone just the other day, I can lose my phone, camera, walkie talkie.. all my gadgets, just don't take my ipod away from me!
.. even when I'm at an annoying place (line of 10 at the dentist, government office, etc), the landscape just lights up with a great sound.
mine is nano third generation and it just has more errors in the system than my
first generation mini but, they're all equally resistant, mine is thinner (but wider) than yours and a few months ago, I went biking around the country, got lost, stopped and realised I had lost dropped my ipod somewhere, I felt bad but I knew it'd be impossible to find in the middle of all the soy fields so.. I figured I should move on and kept riding, I crossed a pool of mud.. more fields.. and then I heard a metal sound and realised my earplugs were trapped in the wheel and I had dragged my ipod through the entire journey
.. it was dirty, a bit scratched but ran as perfect as the first day. So yes, they resist quite a bit
.. you could buy one of these silicone skins though, my mom has
this one.. they're really practical although get worn out very soon.
