Nike + GPS Application for Ipod touch

For the Ipod touch users there is a new way in order for you to use the Nike application without buying the sensor on the Nike Stores. Let me introduce to you the Nike + GPS. This application can be used without the help of the sensor attached on to your shoe. How? The calculations will be based on the  swings of your Ipod touch. So it is advisable for the user to put the Ipod touch on the pocket of your jogging pants in order to have an accurate calculation at the end of your daily run. I tried this application once and I can say that it is indeed very useful. The only problem with this application is that the GPS is not working because this application is originally created for the Iphone. Since the GPS of the Ipod touch and Iphone has a little bit difference then there is no way in order for you to use the map. On the brighter side if you always follow on the same route everyday then why do need the GPS to guide you?  But in general this application is great at the end of your run it will indicate to you the estimated amount of calorie that you burn, how long did you run and your average speed on the whole set.
You can even post it on your Facebook and Twitter accounts. Then there is the History page where you can see the results of your previous runs so you can determine if you are progressing or not. You can get this applications on Itunes and the current version available is 3.1 in order to get this your iOs version is iOs 4 or later. Grab it and have fun running.
