Great product:
It is really easy to use and fits the need of every runner who owns an ipod. Easy to use UI makes it plug and play.
I bought a small pouch and attached it to a regular shoe.
I wish they made a battery pack. I bought this piece to see how it works and now that I have seen it, I dont think I will buy it again once the battery dies.
Only Very Very Old Nano:
I have 1st and 2second generation nano. The sport kit will not work with either. went to apple store and was told it will not work with any nano but the aluminum back nano, which cannot be bought any more. Don't waste your money. The other reviews are just electronic store review salesmen. Go to an apple store and ask the question. What apple product currently sold will the sport kit be compatible? Answer! None!

Great and VERY accurate:
I have used the Sport Kit for over a year now. It's incredible. The instant feedback available about your running speed, distance, and time is great. After I calibrated it, which was very simple, I ran a 10 mile event. In the end, my iPod said I had ran 9.97 miles. So it's not perfect, but for the price you can't beat that. The web site is great as well. My best friend lives over 1,000 miles away, but we can challenge each other to running contests (distance, pace, etc) and monitor it on-line. Great... more info
