I ordered my Nike+iPod kit on June 15th and just received a shipping notice from Apple. Should have it tomorrow.

Just thought some might like to know.

Cheers Flowbee.... and a review once you've had a chance to test it out!
Did you order any Nike+ clothing as well? If not what are you using for a nano holder? If I was to use it with my Apple armband, I'd need to whip out some scissors....

I've tried several armbands and they just aren't comfortable for me. My shorts have a nice little inside pocket (for keys & ID, probably) that fits the nano just perfectly.

When you get this could you try to test it out with non-nike shoes? I love the idea but the last pair of nike shoes (pegasus) turned my toe nails blue with blisters.

I'm definitely not switching from my Saucony Hurricanes. I'll probably craft a little pouch for it that attaches to my laces. I post the results tomorrow.

On the nikeplus site someone has almost run 3000 miles. What the hell is up with that. Hope they sort that out.

Very inovative! Didn't think of that. I was thinking of carving a little spot for it in my 1/2 inch cork heal raiser, but if mine doesn't work yours sounds great.

Post pics of the results.

But don't you need to actually stomp on it for it to register for pace, etc? I would imagine that it's pressure-sensitive rather than having a built-in motion sensor...

Just my two cents. :)

Nope, it's an accelerometer.
