Review: Love the shoes, Love my 30G Ipod, but very very very pissed they can't work together. I am not the only one! I personally run with a dozen others that use the 30G+ ipod and feel the same. Help us, Apple!

Review: I love this idea, even though i only run once or twice a week, its great. The price is in a good range and its a unqiue product. Way to go nike and apple, we need more of this kind of technology from you two.

Review: Why does everyone always assume that these are only going to be used, and aimed at pro runners? I run, but I am nowhere near pro. I run because I enjoy it as a way to keep fit and relax. I also own an iPod. And, like many others out there, I run with it. For the fun runners out there, it's a perfect tool for us without having to buy into the whole pro running scene and spend lots of money on GPS, heart sensors-cum-watch timers etc. Nice and simple is what it is. I really doubt many people would deliberately go out to buy Nike shoes, sensor and iPod just to run. But if they already have an iPod, well, for only $29 it makes sense.

Review: Are we really going to have to tear into insoles to make non-Nike shoes work with this? Or will it work to duck-tape it to the top of a shoe? I hope there will be plenty of ways for runners to get creative and work around the "purchase brand-new, over-priced shoes" requirement.

Review: Nike had the same concept before with their MP3RUN device. (Bluetooth accelerometer in the shoe, MP3/wma player to provide spoken and on-screen feedback to runner with USB to download data and upload music).

Review: In the case of the Nike+, they had the same functionality in their Philips MP3 player, $135 from Amazon.com with other older Nike speed & distance products. "The MP3RUN combines music and monitoring to allow athletes to track their progress over time. Using a wireless speed and distance sensor, data is stored on the player and later automatically uploaded to the nikerunning.com training log. Designed with athlete insights and technology innovations features audible feedback lets you hear time, distance, and pace during your workout on-demand. Nike + Philips introduces the first skip-free Wearable Sport Audio player to combine music, and wireless sensing to help fitness consumers reach their personal best through the motivation of music." http://reviews.cnet.com/Philips_Nike_MP3Run_PSA260_256MB/4505-6490_7-309 10234.html

Review: The only issue is that many runners know that Nike shoes are no longer king in the running world. ASICS is far more popular amongst runners. Every time I use Nikes, I have had injury problems. I hope that Apple is addressing this with other shoe vendors. I'll try digging a cavity in an old pair of ASICS as soon as it's available. Also, this system needs a heart-rate sensor to really be useful to serious runners. I run about 150 miles a month and have been racing since 1981, so I consider myself pretty knowledgeable.

Review: I think this is a very small step between Apple and Nike. This is a very good idea. I hope it takes off, because over time they will make it better and better. It's funny--when I first heard of this news I was motivated to start running again. I'm wondering what great product can those two companies will come up with next.

Review: I don't mind carving out a hole below the insole of my New Balance shoes to see if this sensor can fit in there. I would then get a new insole to put on top. Does anyone think this is a bad idea?
