i want to join this damnit. so have we established that you either 1) have to own a nano and the nike+ or 2)you have to have the sold-out nike wrist gadget?

lvl_13:
sorry but yes.
maybe you could get a used nano 1st G on ebay? the nike+ kit is only 30 bucks, 4 bucks will get you an adaptor to use on your current running shoe.check this out: 30 bucks

lvl - I got this at the running store, but there are others like it:
http://www.nathansports.com/our_…Does it really only work with nanos? That seems very dumb.
- Meeklo0
with nanos only yes.
it blows, I'm using my gf's nano. And I had to give her my video one.I read something about a hack for video and for iphone but not sure if it happened yet
- VectorMasked0
i heard some store were selling combos on ebay with first generation nanos the nike+ kit for like 80/100 bucks.
Worth checking ebay or amazon for this deals.

I got in 3 1/4 miles last night for my first run of the year. Only stopped once to stretch. Felt good! I've got a nice route that is generally 30 minutes door to door.
Sometimes I've noticed that even when itunes sends data to the nike site, it doesn't show up instantly. Anyone else experience this?
- I'm experiencing it right now.
It may take a few hours to showMeeklo

So last night the air pocket in my Nike shoe popped. Wtf. Anyone else try the sensor with non-Nikes? I was looking at lacelid.com clip...
- VectorMasked0
Yep. that is a common thing dude.
According to Nike the data sent to the challenges is secondary. The priority for the data is to just show up in "my runs". I also read that it can take up to 2 hours for the data to show on a regular day, although there is a chance the data would take close to half a day in some cases when the site is busy.

from a dev stand point, it taking a little bit makes sense. syncing can be a pretty hefty process. so just getting it into the system would be priority. Having to sync that with other things like challenges would just have to wait. I'm sure they have some sort of batch process that runs at X:00 a few times a day. Mine took about 4 hrs to update and still don't have my powersong added yet, so maybe today when I upload that will show up.
- I think your psong shows only if you used it on a run, and it will stay there till you use another one.Meeklo
- True. The powersong only shows if you have played it.
VectorMasked - btw, my calibration went smoothly and was ready in no time. Walk and run for over 400m for more accuracy.VectorMasked

as much as I hate helping you, cause you will kick all of our asses, I can say that I've been using the Lacelid Adaptor on my shoes since December and its perfect, small, light and looks great.
