I know that you really shouldn't run with a classic or any hd based pmp but how is it if your just mowing the lawn? Or walking down stairs with it in a pocket/in hand? Do these light bumps to them hurt it that much? I would assume it would quite a bit due to the hard drive. I was talking this over with a friend and he said it wouldn't very well.

I've run with mine, though I haven't tried mowing my grass with it. I suspect that if you keep the vibrations down to a minimum you should be ok

You can certainly walk with it.

It'd be kind of silly to buy an iPod and only use it when you're sitting still. It withstands normal use quite well- the problem is when it's repeatedly jerked around like when you're running.
