Belkin SportCommand for iPod

If you're hitting the slopes with your iPod this winter and you can't afford one of those swanky Burton iPod jackets, you might consider Belkin's new SportCommand - a wireless, weather-resistant, neoprene, armband remote.

As you've come to expect from an iPod remote, this one will allow you to play, pause, skip tracks and a control the volume, and it has big enough buttons that even your gloved hands should be able to manage it. It'll set you back $79 USD and should be shipping in North America this November, with subsequent releases in Asia, Australia and Europe, so those of you heading to Zermatt for the holidays should be all set.

I give the SportCommand a D- for misrepresentation. Saw all the advertising that involved being on the slopes boarding and skiing and said that's exactly what I'm looking for ! Well guess what, the product can't handle temperatures below 0C/32F ! I've taken the product to the slopes for 2 days where the temperature was just barely below freezing , both days the remote failed to function after 30 minutes of being outside ! So can you only use the sportcommand for snowboarding in summer ???
And this is not a defect in my unit , 2 of my boarding buddies are having the same problem... as well as seeing posts on the web about the same issue.

Another problem I have is with the receiver unit that is attached to the IPOD. The receiver unit continues to drain the IPOD battery even when the IPOD is turned off ! Three nights I have left the reciever unit attached to the IPOD and each morning the battery is totally discharged.... even thought the unit was off !!

Ugly sports design. I like it, but 80 bucks is too much I think.

Cool. And check out the incredibly dorky designer trying to be the outdoorsy type! : )
