Customer Review: Nike+ Problems - Hardware or Software?
Summary: 1 Stars
The Nike+ concept represents a great idea for walkers and runners and others who exercise to musical rhythms and want the cool features of Nike+, but what a shame the product and/or its companion software is a bit failure prone! I'm on my 3rd sensor and hoping this one performs much better than the first two.
The first sensor was dead on arrival, the second died after two walks, and the third did not work until I power-cycled my iPod Touch (4th gen). There are two functional units to the Nike+ system: The sensor/transmitter and the receiver/processing software. It occurred to me that maybe the problem might be in the receiver/processing side. So when my iPod did not pick up the sensor/transmitter signal today, I power-cycled the iPod and the sensor was picked up promptly after I took a few steps! I was beginning to think the Nike+ sensors might be missing some QC at the factory across the Pacific, but now I am convinced the problem might just as well be in the receiver/processing software side! Not sure yet but working on isolating the problem so I know whether to take back #3.
Design wise the device has issues like these:
-- no positive feedback so you don't know what's going on,
-- no indicator function in the iPod side of Nike+ to let you know if the sensor has fallen off your shoe - no alarm or indication in the first 100 feet or so anyway,
-- no way to recharge or replace the battery,
-- no indication whether the sensor is in awake mode or sleep mode, etc.
But again, the concept is strong if only Nike can improve the design and make it work much longer!
Description of Nike + iPod Sensor
This wireless sensor works with your iPod nano or iPod touch (2nd generation) to track your workouts. Insert it into the built-in pocket beneath the insole of your Nike+ shoe and pair it with your existing Nike + iPod receiver attached to your iPod nano. This sensor is perfect as a replacement for a sensor that has been lost or has exhausted its battery. Or it's great if you want to have a sensor for a second pair of Nike+ shoes. If you have an iPod touch (2nd generation), all you need to track your workouts is this wireless sensor. With its built-in support for Nike + iPod, your iPod touch (2nd generation) can deliver all the benefits of the Nike + iPod Sport Kit without the extra receiver. Please note: This package includes only the Nike + iPod wireless sensor. If you also need the wireless receiver for iPod nano, purchase the complete Nike + iPod Sport Kit.Digital Cameras & Photo Categories
