“Nike+ will definitely be extending its compatibility beyond the iPod Nano to the iPhone and iPod touch. No surprise there really, but the interesting detail is that it could also make use of both devices Wi-Fi (and, ultimately for the iPhone, 3G capability) to let you update your training log on the fly. Once you’ve legged round your local park you’ll be able to send the data (probably via a software app like the one the new SportBand uses) wirelessly without having to sit down and drip sweat over your computer. Very cool,” Mark Wilson reports for Stuff.tv.
“This will come in particularly handy when using the new Nike+ Coach feature (above), which is due to go live today. Clearly an attempt to match the personal trainer qualities of Samsung and Adidas’ miCoach system, the Coach gives you the option of picking a 5k, 10k, half marathon or full marathon programs and provides a calendar to let you schedule runs,” Mark Wilson reports for Stuff.tv.

iPhone is a bit heavy for a good run, but I’ll try it out.
was running a halfmarathon last weekend here in berlin (20.000 people running – it was really cool), though the real marathon is far out of reach still. my knees …
This article that just came out, says that Nike+ info has been removed from the most recent iPhone 2.0 software.

I think the first step for Nike would be to make a non-flash version of the Nike+ website so that it is at least viewable on the iPhone/IPod touch..
Nike makes crap.
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice shame on me.
I bought a pair of Nikes that fell apart immediately.
I won’t be fooled again!
@qka,
I totally agree. I will only buy Asics for running shoes. But, I think you can use the device with any shoe as long as you calibrate it correctly.
I have a $40 pair of Nikes that I’ve been running in for over a year and they’re still in good condition. If yours somehow fell apart immediately, you should have taken them back to the store and exchanged them.
I regularly run with my iPhone. It’s not as heavy as it looks especially when on a firm belt hook. The sorry excuse for ear buds that Apple ships however get a grade of FAIL!
Well, there’s also the added annoyance of phone calls interrupting your perfectly tuned music. Ruins your pace, even if you don’t answer.
I want ear buds that I don’t have to worry slipping out of my ears every 5 freaking minutes, makes the whole run just abysmally annoying!
@ tmsruge
Check out a neat site that I found one day. It seems they have a NEW patent pending insert for a cap that supports the earbuds so they do not drop out of your ears as much or at all. I will be buying one real soon I think…
