yeah it does look neat, unfortunately you need an iPod nano specifically, and special Nike+ shoes that can hold the sensors that come with the sport kit, an extra $100+ dollars.

Lots of guys have reported success taping the sensor under their insole. Nike also makes a shoelace carrier for the sensor for non Nike+ shoes.
I'd be all over it if I didn't already have a polar kit that does the same thing. Now if it read my HRM....I might consider it.

This one has a huge list of routes that people have already plugged into gmap-pedometer. You can search by location, distance, etc. It's helpful if you're traveling somewhere and want to figure where to run, or if you want to do a very long run on curvy routes without spending half an hour plugging in points.

I was waiting to reply until my new case came. The case, by Marware, comes with a neoprene sleeve for the sensor so that you can attach it to regular (non-Nike) shoes. I just tried it tonight on my New Balance shoes, without calibration it read barely off (one leg it showed at .502 miles, vs. .531 that GMAPS says it is (straight leg down the road so I imagine the GMAPS is more accurate). I will try to calibrate it tomorrow and see if its better, but so far I am impressed with it.
