How do you download music from US version of iTunes Music Store?
Calibrated gizmo tonight, worked perfectly with sensor tie-wrapped under my shoelaces. Downloaded to Nike.com with ease. How does it know what distance I have run?? I am confused but very happy with my new toy.
Go buy it tomorrow. Runalong!
Does the nike+ system work in a similar way to the s625x or is it effectively an expensive pedometer? I already own a nano, and if it is as accurete as an s625x, it seems like a bargain to me. (presume you can listen to normal music still as you run?)
To go back to basics, for me, seems like a good idea.
As I already own a Nano I am more than happy to pay the £19 but, like Han Lilac, wonder if it will fit into an armband.
From the photo on the website the Nike armband looks a tight fit and if you are adding an inch or so to the length, will the Nano still fit.
If anyone has any experience of this I would be pleased to know the answer
Thanks

Might answer (or raise) some questions
How did you get your 50 dollar itunes card?
Has been bugging me and hubby for ages, as the US site has so much more music on it.
Cheers
I know its probably isnt as useful as a garmin/polar overall, but for £19 who can complain (ok, I already use a nano).
No problems fastening the sensor to shoes using tape, didnt lose it first time out anyway. Distance readings seems reasonably accurate. I would suggest this is a very reasonably priced little gadget.
I couldn't resist!
Old MP3 player was dying... and have tried hard to resist joining the IPOD club....
Was also considering upgrading my polar to one with the SD running gadget...
so bought a new nano and a nike+ in one easy movement (of the credit card!!) *gulp*
So tonight - charged the ipod, transferred some tracks and worked out how to secure the sensor under my laces...
Can't wait for my run tomorrow!!
Anyway, I've been through a few pairs of shoes and no way changing at this stage.
I've found out that the sensor doesnt work unless its somewhere near horizontal - I tried it vertical down my sock but that didnt work.
I went out yesterday for a run with it under my sock on top of my foot. Its so small I didnt feel it.
I've now fixed it onto my laces. Its quite difficult as its got rounded edges, so I've made something using the packaging that lets you just use your laces. I'm going to post the photos up at my website www.markcherry.com shortly...
This kit is just superb though!

Can see why you would think twice if you had to buy a nano too but I am a long lover of ipods so personally think it is well worth it!! Go buy one!!
added to the list I wanted an armband holder..
oops... sorry madam none of the ones we stock will hold the ipod with the new reader on the bottom.. oops...
You need one of the Nike armbands... unfortunately we are out of stock, and there is a worldwide constraint on themm..
Grrr.... Maybe try a JJB, etc as the belief is they have bought a "job lot" and wiped out the worldwide supply! Doh!!
Fortunately, down the stairs was a JD sports, with NIKE+ in the windows..
They had LOADS of the armbands in... but £24.99!! What a rip off! especially as the super cool gadget only costs £19!!!!
humpfh... anyway.. been to spin and stuck at work now... want it to cool down abit then hopefully can go for a run later and try it out!!
:-)
Can you feel the sensor when it's inbetween your tongue and the laces?
Can you buy them anywhere or do you have to order online?
I bought mine in the nike shop, Oxford st, but you can buy them all over... JD sports, john lewis's, there's a list on nike's website of stockists in your area!
Between the laces and tongue you cant feel it at all. It does have to be tight, you can imagine it would not be that accurate if its moving around - so the key holder idea is good so long as theres not lots of space to move around in.
Went out again today.. I checked the Community section of the nike plus website and have managed to get 6th fastest 5k time in GB. Not a great time by any means, just the week is to Sundays and they were only out from Thursday
More over at http://nikeplusuk.blogspot.com
I'm not sure about the community leader boards though as the fastest posted 5K time is 9.41 which is a fair bit below the current WR!
I ordered mine at the week-end, but cant seem to get hold of an armband
I tried a couple of JD sport shops today (in Swindon), to try to get the Nike armband, but they didn't know what I was talking about.
Does anyone know where you can get one online.
I
I too am in Swindon. If you want a running partner, please mail me
Ta!
