However, I would like to strongly disagree with Adam's assessment of the NIke+iPod sport kit. Being a "serious runner" -- that is, a 2-3 marathons per year sort of runner -- I will attest to the reliability of the kit to the extent that I have used it. I've had it for about 4 months now, and have logged well over 400 miles on it. I have checked its accuracy both with GPS and my car's odometer, and have found it to perform rather well. Most important, it is consistent -- every time I use it, I hit the same landmarks at the same distance. I'm not sure how accurate one need a pedometer to be, but I have had more expensive pieces of running electronics that have performed far worse than Nike+iPod. Good show.
