    I can confirm that this is true for the iPhone 4. Does your iPod have iOS4 installed?

    You need the Nike + iPod touch sport kit which includes the sensor for your shoe and the sensor attatchment for the iPod touch. It's not too expensive, $29 from the Apple store US or it's £18.99 from the UK.
    Handy bit of kit apparently!

    I got the little transponder thing and a pouch to attach onto my shoelace on Amazon for less than $30.

    The motion sensors interacts with other devices via bluetooth.

    Since your iPod touch 3G has bluetooth capabilites, DO NOT buy the bluetooth adapter. Buy the sensor only. You will save $10 and you don't need it.

    I have the newest generation of IPOD touch and I would like to get the Nike+ sports kit. I have been a little leary about getting it because I can't tell how difficult it will be to set up, and how helpful it will be. I am trying to improve my jogging/running times and track distances. Thanks for any info you can provide.

    I love my Nike+. You just need the sensor and the receiver, and a pouch to put the sensor in if you don't have nike+ shoes. It isn't hard to set up (like most things apple) but in order for it to be accurate you need to go to a track (or somewhere you know the exact distance) and calibrate it. You don't have to do this, but if you want your distance to be accurate (say you run 5 miles and it clocks you at 6.25 miles) you really should. :smile:
