Nike + Running on iPhone or iPod Touch?

Vader · Sep 9, 2007, 11:14 AM

I have searched around for word on this, but haven't found any. I would hope that it would work since they are both flash-based. Anyone know/try this?

On the iPhone, as soon as you plug it in, it says that the attached accessory isn't supported.

As of now, it does not work in the iPhone, only the nano (any gen). Can't say about the Touch since it's not out.http://www.gearlog.com/2007/07/nike_...nano_iphon.php

Won't happen, Apple wants you to buy the nano in addition to whatever ipod you currently own.

Been to the Trafford Centre today and asked the question of compatability and have been told the following. the Nike + kit will only work on the Nano and the new Nano and nothing else.

mkrishnan · Sep 9, 2007, 01:18 PM

It works on all generations of the nano and nothing else. Considering there have been a number of other iPods out since the first Nano came out, I wouldn't hold my breath. It's a little extra money (although I use my Nano 2G almost exclusively now, I bought it for Nike+), but the Nike armband, Nike+iPod, iPod Nano combination is amazing. I never regret having bought it.

weird... in the swedish apple store site it says: this accessory is compatible with the following ipods:
all nanos, ipod classic and touch

Weird.

Interesting. You should send them a quick note and see what they say.

Shaduu · Sep 9, 2007, 02:12 PM

UK store's saying compatible with the classic and touch too.

Vader · Sep 9, 2007, 03:42 PM

Its not entirely of importance, as I don't plan to get an iPod touch. (I currently have a 1G nano and 60 gb 5G iPod) Just interesting to know. Hopefully someone can chime in once they get one and try it.

Vader · Sep 14, 2007, 02:00 AM

Now that a few people have touches, has anyone tried it with a nike + running?

aristobrat · Sep 14, 2007, 09:17 AM

They should, since you know they "ran" to get their Touches last night.

giganten · Sep 14, 2007, 10:18 AM

Any news on this? Will the nike+ work with the touch?

Tried last night with a 16 gig touch. No dice. Same message as the iPhone ("this accessory isn't supported").

Well that is really a shame! The iPhone I can understand, it is kinda big to run with, but the iPod touch is about as thin as a nano! This means if I were to get an iPod Touch, I would still need my nano for nike + running, and my 60gb video to hold all my stuff! What a rip-off! I guess I will be sticking with my current configuration then.
