Do you think you should update regarding the use of the Nike+ with iPod Touch? Since there is now iPod Touch 2.

For those asking about the iPod Touch… if you check the Nike+iPod pages on apple.com, you will see that it now works with the Touch as well as the Nano. Here is the link: http://www.apple.com/ipod/nike/run.html

Love the new Ipod Nano 4 style, but this version seems very flimsy. Anyone else think so ?

Hey, my Nike+ sensor went dead again after about 600 mi so instead of buying a new one I found a site that gives you step by step instructions on replacing the battery. It’s MUCH simpler than I thought and it works great. I’ve been running with it for 4 months without a problem. The site is:

Hope this helps!

Hi all,

Has anyone found a hack to charged an empty sensor???

About to buy another one (3rd). And no i haven’t run for 2000 hours, but somehow the batteries run out of energy.

regards

Same questions as Bob earlier. Is it possible to edit your run data? I pressed the menu button after my run but forgot to press end run afterwards and my run went for another 4 minutes before I stopped it, thus dragging down my mile/min.

I have used Nike+ on the treadmill and found that it was more accurate than the treadmill itself. After reading blogs and testing both for several weeks I find that treadmills don’t give accurate readings, they give approximations when you are working out depending on the settings you put in. I ran the same distance and time on flat ground and got the same results with the Nike+ as I did when I use it on the treadmill. Where I burned 350 calories according to Nike+, the treadmill stated that I only burned 150. This is after 30 minutes of running.

Nothing is wrong with running on the treadmill, it’s not as accurate as I thought it would be.

Hi Bob: In a word, no. The Nike+ipod Sport Kit only works with the iPod nano. Not the classic, not the touch, not the mini… just the nano.

The Nike+iPod Sport kit includes a sensor (or transmitter), which goes in your shoe, and the receiver, which plugs into your iPod nano.

Nike+ Sensor & iPods: does it work with the new Classic or not?

One website, someone said in a word, “Yes”.

One of the FAQs implies it depends on the “generation” of the iPod device.

Nike+ Sensors or Nike+ Sport Kit … please clarify.

Thank you.
