“We’ve known that Nike+ has long been in development for the iPhone. Now we’re finally getting a peek at the first shots of the interface. From what we can skim, Nike+ users will get all of the nifty performance graphs right on the phone (before this stuff was available on the web only). But the biggest improvement over the old Nike system may be Google Maps support.” Mark Wilson reports for Gizmodo.
Wilson reports, “We don’t know just how robust the Nike+ maps support will be, but mapping routes directly on the iPhone could make for more organized training sessions.”

its about time- ive been waiting for the nike+ availability since the original iPhone was released. I am a very happy runner, if this proves to be true. I just hope they dont make me buy new sensor hardware.
I wonder if the iPhone will be able to tell you how much your feet stink…
..or how to avoid stepping on dog turds!
I bet Forest would loved to have had a Nike+iPhone made by “some kind of fruit company”.
And it’s great for gang initiations, Spencer Tunick shoots or a remake of Red Dawn.
Looks like Nike gets access to the music library. This might make other App Store devs a little pissed.
Cool, now make something that works for us bicycle riders.
Or is there an app that works with the iPhone GPS that will do the same thing?
Most of this functionality already exists as an app for the iPhone complete with Google maps, altitude and speed readings, etc. Check out iTrail. It does it all with GPS so you don’t have to buy special Nike’s with the special +Nike pod sneaker insert.
macster,
iTrail = can’t use iPod while running which makes it virtually useless.
Sorry no. While I would LOVE a serious training system from Apple for runners their nike+ stuff doesn’t cut it. I need something with a heart rate monitor and a foot pod device to track heart rate, pace, stride length, interval runs, tempo runs, and physical evaluation based on heart performance.
Basically, I want something more powerful than the Polar equipment. Becuase while Polar does track a lot of stuff and has software its ….useless…to me anyway.
$500.00 and all that data I’ve collected but I can’t tell if I’m improving or not because their friggin software SUCKS!! Plus interval and tempo training is useless because the watch is not loud enough to let me know whats going on because my mp3 player is too loud. Yet its supposed to be the best on the market. I KNOW Apple can do better.
But Apple is not taking it seriously enough.
@TowerTone–
I don’t know what’s funnier, your quote or the fact that I read it while watching Balls of Fury. 😀
Meh. I’m fine with the way Nike+ works with my nano. The iPhone seems a bit bulky to run with.
@olternaut
I just want to make something clear. When I said the software sucks I was referring to Polar not Apple. I looked at the nike+ stuff by apple and it looks good. But without the heart rate monitor and foot pod I will have to stick with the polar gear….sucky software notwithstanding.
@TowerTone
I am stilll a stock holder. And the fruit company has become juicer! Lt. Dan has new legs made of platinum!

Magic Legs?
@Olternaut
Dude, you might try to lighten up and just run. I understand the attraction (and usefulness) of all the tech, but you can do your intervals, tempo runs and so on with just a watch and a measured course. Get away from all the junk and just run, you know? Listen to your body and flow with it. If you are faster in your next race or time trial, then you are getting better, right?
magic word: feeling. as in, running gives you a good feeling…
