No problems pairing to my old 2nd Gen iPod Touch, iPhone 3GS, or iPhone 4. Make sure to calibrate it if you can to get the most accurate results. Tempted to buy the $1.99 Nike+ GPS iPhone app instead of replacing the lost one.
I currently just put the sensor under my shoelaces. but it tends to slide out from under there. I also tried taking out the lining in the shoe, and putting it under there, but I got some skewed results on my graphs and such. Anyone else have a better place to put it?

I'm not a big runner, but I've been thinking that between a new bluetooth headset and a cool tracking app, I'll be more enticed to get my cardio on. Now, from my understanding (reconfirmed by the tour of the app), the iOS application utilizes Location Services (aka the GPS chip) as well as movement to track speed, distance, location, etc. Fine.

I am not planning on running down the street with the iPad in a giant arm band. But What if running on a treadmill, I could use it to track my run and watch videos on the large display. Even if you have to use the receiver like on the nano. I doubt this will work but just curies.
