Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple Nike + iPod Sport Kit for iPod nano 1G, 2G (Old Version)
Customer Review: Brilliant!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just got back from my first run with the Nike + iPod and I am impressed. The sensor seemed very accurate and a pleasant female voice gave me time, distance and average pace at the push of my Nano's center button. Using the Nano in a Nike armband made it a little hard to find the center button while running at full speed, but I was pressing it a lot, for the sheer novelty of it. Also, data integration with Nike's website was as easy as synching my Nano with iTunes and clicking "yes" to a screen prompt. I was immediately seeing my run's info in a very cool flash based site. Can't wait to add more runs to my datebase.
It may be hard to believe, but this thing actually makes you want to run more. Brilliant!
Customer Review: short battery life
Summary: 1 Stars
I really liked this product. But I am also very disappointed by the sensor. I own two of this product. The first one worked excellent for 3 months then the sensor's battery run out. So I bought the second one. To save battery this time I turn the sensor off when the first time I am not using it, then it can't be turn on anymore.
I only use it for 1 hour per day. When not running, I am not wearing it at all. The sensor suppose to last for 1000 hours, but 1 hour per day for 3 month (about 100 day)-is only about 100 running hours then the battery died.
The second one shows me the poor quality of switch on the sensor.
Customer Review: Nike+ iPod Sports Kit
Summary: 5 Stars
I love it, why didn't I have this a year ago? It actually makes me want to run harder, faster, and longer to beat my last run time! It tracks your progress and depending on your work out choice, it actually keeps you informed-not in an annoying way-of your progress so you know where you are and what you have left to do-all the same, you can choose a work out that does not interrupt with the progress reports. It downloads to the nike+ website when you synch your iPod and you can see what you have done for the day/week/month/year and you can set personal goals and compare workouts. I would buy this product all over again! It rocks!Customer Review: Very Good

If you own a Nano and are a runner or would like to become one buy this kit and the Nike armband. I tucked the sensor under the laces and taped it with double sided tape on my non-Nike shoes. I took it to the local high school track to calibrated it and it is very accurate(I checked on Google Earth and it has prove almost exact). The arm band is kinda important because it is the only I know of that will fit the nano with the kit and it has a raised center button making it easy to get feed back and activate the power song. This thing is combined with Nike sports music is already produced some of my best runs!!!!Customer Review: Too hard to calibrate
Summary: 2 Stars
We're having a devil of a time calibrating this device. I bought this for my partner, who doesn't fit well into Nike shoes, so he's continuing to use his favorite running shoes. He has the Marware sport suit for the sensor, which came highly recommended. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to get the calibration to work at all. Apparently, judging from all of the other messages from users, this is a known problem -- whether or not you're using the sport kit with a pair of Nike shoes.
I think this is very much a beta product. Great idea, but just too buggy in its first version.
