Other potential uses for such a chip in a phone include managing the user interface: pat the phone or flip it over to send a call to voicemail, Vigna suggested.

Does anybody know how accurate it is in such a situation?

I needed to access those files on my wife's iPod to move the XML file from synced to latest because the data was not actually syncing to the Nike site, but it acted like it did and moved the latest file into synced each time. It turned out to be an issue with the Nike site that Nike admitted in a support response, but by that time we had already made up another account that worked instantly. I'll have to see what I can do with this! You also have to have the iPod set to use disk mode.

In a mac disable the option for itunes to automatically open when your ipod is connected. Then when your ipod is mounted on the desktop go iPod_Control/Device/Trainer/Workouts/Empeds/0A0000AAAA(FOLDER NAME VARIES)/latest or /synched (depending on if you already synched to nike +) You have to have hidden files disabled in either windows or mac to see the information.

There is some real potential for community activity around that, moreso than what they are providing through that Flash site.
