Nike+ iPod = Good gift?

[Euryphaessa]

I'm considering getting a Nike+ iPod kit for my boyfriend for Christmas. Any runners around here use one? I will not be getting him the shoes, but I know you can use the little fob thingy on any pair of shoes, as long as it's oriented properly.

Mods, if this is better suited to YTC, move it plzkthx?

I don't use one but I wish I could (iPod too old, and I'm too cheap to get a new one). A friend of mine has one and she loves it. I say go for it!

(And if by chance he doesn't like it, I would be offended if you regifted it my way! )

Deal! I'm going to order it tonight, for better or for worse.

The Runner's World website usually has good information about different running gadgets.

Here are a bunch of articles and I see some about Nike (although I'm not sure if it's the same one you are looking at): http://www.runnersworld.com/topic-ex...21-0-0,00.html

Oh, I missed when you answered me, Squink. That's pretty much what I was looking at (the sensor is the same, it just uses its own armband receiver instead of the iPod receiver). Thanks for the link.

It should be here by tomorrow (fingers crossed!).

Waitaminnit, this sounds interesting. A Nike+ device that you don't need the iPod for? But when I followed Squink's link, I just got a page full of links, and I don't know which one is being discussed. Little help?

Huh, I thought I saw it there, perhaps I was mistaken. Anyway, here's a link to the Nike+ armband.
