iPod Do you have to have an iPod Nano to use the Nike running thing?

[Pathfinder55]

I looked on the apple website about the iPod+ Nike running/workout thing, and I was wondering if you had to have an iPod Nano to use it.

Yes.

On the plus side, it works with all 3 generations of the nano. So you may be able to find a bargain on an older one.

It's pretty cool, too. I bought a 2g, two gig nano specifically for use while running with the Nike+iPod.

Very handy.

I just bought one and started using it yesterday. I absolutely love this thing.

if only there were a way to have one of these things that worked with the shuffle (so much nicer for running!). There wouldn't be any visuals, obviously, but I don't need that when running anyway. The audio feedback would be plenty!

It would be sooooo limited, that it probably wouldn't be worth the time. You'd basically be looking at a speaking pedometer.

How would you...

- Choose a type of workout (distance, calories, time, etc.)

- Choose a duration (5k, 10k, etc.)?

- Set it to tell it to measure in KM's or miles?

- Calibrate it?

- Attach it to the sensor?

- Enter your weight?

- Choose between male/female voice?

A version of Nike + for the Shuffle would be so incredibly watered down that they'd probably end up looking bad for releasing such a cheesy product, compared to what they have with the Nano.

I agree about the shuffle, but maybe they could throw a screen on the + part with all that information. But that would probably drive up the price.

Also, I run with a shuffle clipped to my shirt, I would think anything else attached would make it awkward without an arm band.
