Well let me tell you a little something about Nike+ if you don’t know anything about it. Nike teamed up with Mac and decided to make a little sensor that goes into your shoe. This then connects to your Ipod, you proceed to run around (treadmill/the block/etc) and it tracks your progress. (Distance, Time, Pace, Calories) I know it seems a little dull doesn’t it. Well here comes the interesting part, you upload your stats to [nikeplus.com](http://nikeplus.com). You can challenge friends, join competitions, and leave messages to fellow runners. Theres a catch though with the messages. When a person leaves you a comment they set a certain distance for it to show up at. You see that you have a comment (repped by a star) but you can’t read it until you hit that certain distance. Another thing that is incorporated is google maps. You can view around your area of routes people like to run or make your own route. Its pretty damn nifty, I just got this yesterday and ran my first 3 miles this morning. Oh forgot to mention, you know those New years resolution everyone makes and you always seem to forget about. (meaning weight etc) Well this constantly reminds you every time you sign on to nikeplus. All in all its a game for when you run. Going good so far. If anyone has this or thinks there going to purchase it hit me up, will get a pittspeed running challenge or something going. ---

It only works with the nano, the reason being is that Apple didn’t develop it for iPods that use a hard drive because the bouncing in the run will dramatically shorten the life of the hard drive. ---
