I just don't get what's up with Nike and the Nano....really. Sure, Nanos are smaller and most people probably prefer them for running. But why not let the consumer decide which iPod they wish to use while running...why piss on the Shuffle and Video?
==================
The reasons (as I understand them) are:

Shuffle has no display. Nano has. Unit needs a display.

Why isn't it used on the Video models? Nano is flash-memory-based, other models are hard-drive based and more prone to shocks and sensitivities of running activity. Apple wouldn't like an incresed rate of returns on the more sensitive-to-shock hard-drive based iPods due to running activity. ]]>Feb 3rd 2007 5:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/nike-kicks-out-performance-hatphones-for-your-ipod-nano/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/nike-kicks-out-performance-hatphones-for-your-ipod-nano/
I was born in California, moved to Pennsylvania in my late teens, got married in NY, moved back to California, and now live in Utah... and everywhere they call them beanies.

Maybe I only meet people that use UK/NZ terms. :P]]>Feb 2nd 2007 11:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/nike-kicks-out-performance-hatphones-for-your-ipod-nano/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/nike-kicks-out-performance-hatphones-for-your-ipod-nano/
Yeah, I know, negative ranking.]]>Feb 3rd 2007 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/nike-kicks-out-performance-hatphones-for-your-ipod-nano/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/02/nike-kicks-out-performance-hatphones-for-your-ipod-nano/
Hahaha! That was brilliant!

On a more serious note, I do run with a Nano and Nike+ and my major complaint is pulling it out of my pocket and lowering or raising the volume, pausing, etc. Since, I've been running during this winter, this cap might be useful.

As to why Apple does not make the Nike+ system work with anything but a Nano, it is because the shuffle does not have a screen and the othe iPods have moving hard drives. Apple says that running will drastically reduce the life of the hard drive.

I love to wear advertisements for companies, and pay for the privilege of doing it.

This could apply to just about anything, but I think we've seen a whole new level of stupid accessories with the iPod. I just wish it would stop.]]>Feb 5th 2007 5:56PM
