    It sounds really good but what if you do not want to use an ipod for it (I don't even want it strapped to me)? I saw them talk about a wrist strap but so no where to purchase it. Does anyone have that?

    I haven't seen a wrist strap...However I purchased an armband like this

    http://www.londondrugs.com/Cultures/en-US/Product+Detail/Electronics.htm?BreadCrumbs=Electronics;Electronics;iPods;MP3 WMA Player Accessories;Griffin AeroSport Case for Nano 4G - Black - 8270NAEROB&Catalog=Electronics&Category=MP3 WMA Player Accessories&ProductID=3375565&ProductTab=3

    and I can just strap it down close to my wrist or it detaches and has a belt clip attached though I haven't tested that out to see how sturdy it was.

    Pre-armband I just stuck my ipod in my pocket. I keep the volume down so I can hear the stats and music but I can also hear what is going on around me. I've also just used one earphone and tucked the other one down my shirt.

    OK so i had my bday yesterday and I got new running shoes and the Nike plus system. I used it for the first time last night and i love it so far. :) I was wondering if there are still any my fitness pal challenges/teams on the nike plus website. I am so excited :love:

    yes there is a June MFP challenge, I set it up as invite only though because of non-mfpers getting in the way of :wink: Ok, I just made it public, just let me know if your MFP name and your Nike name are the same.

    Some other points, I find mine to lag by 0.08 per mile, but I would rather it was behind than ahead, just makes me work harder.

    Sensor goes you can replace JUST the sensor for $19 bucks and the sensor will last 6-12 moths depending on usage.

    I really like it. :drinker:

    my nike + screen name is strangesan. I calibrated mine for my running speed tonight. It seemed to be pretty close. I really think I am going to like this a lot. It helps that I have some good shoes too now. I had a pair of new balance before and the they had no support. I could feel the pavement!! haha

    Does anyone know how accurate it is in regards to counting calories?

    If you read the manual, the sensor is always defaulted to be on. There is a spot in the back that you push in with a pen tip that will turn it off. So if you only use it a couple of times a week for an hour or so you could turn it off to save battery life. I also have mine on a holder on top of my sneakers - it works great!
