Don't waste your money
This thing does not work properly. It records my distance and pace when I walk but not when I run. I ran for about 3 miles and the sensor said that I traveled .01 miles. When I stop running and start walking the sensor began working properly.

Works well
Works exactly as said. It doesn't exactly measure distance, but is fairly accurate. You just have to remember to start your workout on the ipod. :) Seamless integration with itunes and uploading to the nike website was smooth.

Love this thing! Great use of the Ipod for training
I just got back into running (doctor's orders to lower cholesterol and blood pressure) and wanted something to help me train for a 5K I'm going run in December.
While the Ipod is a great MP3 player, on its own it does not provide any motivation or help one gauge workout progress. Adding the Nike+ sensor to your running shoe (you don't need Nike shoes btw) and the included receiver to your Ipod basically gives you your own personal trainer.
Get yourself a heart-rate monitoring watch like the Nike Triax C6, which I use, and you have all you need to monitor your health and track your fitness.
With the Nike+ I like how you can set different workout goals by calories burned, distance or time-length of your run. And here's the cool part: once you've finished a workout, iTunes will send your workout data to Nikeplus.com, which one can use to set weight or distance goals and track progress; the site also offers social features such as sharing your workout/getting-in-shape progress w/friends and family members -- so my wife actually KNOWS I'm working out now and doesn't have to take my word for it.
Only gripes: once you've started a workout, it's a pain to try to switch or skip songs during your work out. Volume control is still easy however. The product designers had a difficult problem to solve here, and for the most part, they did the best they could with the Ipod interface. But I can't help but think how much easier to use the Nike+ would be to use with Bluetooth voice commands. So here's my wish: Apple creates an Ipod with built-in BT with voice recognition (this could also make navigating the Ipod menus in your car that much easier).
Also, as other reviewers have pointed out, when you're done w/a workout, turn the sensor off on the back (I do this with the connector end of my earphones). If you don't, you'll be buying another one in 3-4 months (there's no way to swap the battery that I'm aware of).
Overall, for ~$29, this is probably one of the best investments in your health you'll ever make. Now get out there and RUN!

Good Buy
The shipment was prompt and the item was as described and in brand new condition. Would gladly do business with this merchant again.

Awesome invention!
Not sure how true the mileage is on this thing as it seems like my previously marked routes (used GPS) are now greater distances than before - maybe off by .10 of a mile. I think it might matter if you take long or short strides. Other than that it really does motivate me & I love it when I hear Lance's voice tell me I beat a personal best!
