Nike just announced the new Nike+ sport band which essentially eliminates the need to own an iPod to use the system. It's a flash drive that fits on a wrist band and has a digital readout while you're running that shows pace, distance and calories burned. After a run, you plug it into your usb @ home and it uploads to the Nike+ website just like the iPod does and you can participate in everything that us iPod owners participate in. I couldn't find the price, but I can guarantee it's a lot cheaper than an iPod. I'm guessing $50 for the kit (requires the same sensor the iPod does). I'm hoping Archaea and others will join us now.

I'm excited about this little gadget. One thing I hate about the system now is that I don't always want to run with music, but I have to bring along the Nano anyway. I also have a couple of mp3 players that I can put music from Rhapsody on, and run with different music everyday. I'll definitely be getting one of those.

It's using the USB Port that bothers me. And using Nike running shoes is an anathema to me. I might try it.

I don't wear nike running shoes either. I'm purely a Brooks man. Just pick up one of these things and you golden: ![]() I included the assortment of colors just so you know that, yes, you can accessorize with your different running outfits. USB-Phobic, eh. thats the first time that I've heard that one. |

I just use sticky velcro. One side on the sensor, one side on the tongue of the shoe, under the laces.
