Does nano 6th generation need a receiver and/or a sensor?

I have a nano 6th and bought the nike+ipod kit. For the first couple times I ran with the receiver and the sensor but I accidentally found the nike+ system works just as fine without them; it still records all my runs with all the data. I am just confused if I hav been using it correctly because it does not seem right.

Cannot find the Nike app on my new nano like is on my Touch. I do not need the receiver for a 6th gen, right?

Do you need the receiver if you have an iPod Nano 5G?

In order to get all of the Nike+ data, do you need to buy the entire sport kit or will the Sensor alone be good enough?

Why do I need a receiver? Isn't the sensor self sufficient?

The pedometer on my ipod nano 6th generation works without the kit. What would it benefit me getting the nike sport kit?

i was wonder, when i take the receiver out of my ipod nano does the sensor turn off or save battery power?

I like wearing me nike shoes when I'm not "working out", and I was wondering if i had to take the sensor out every time I'm done. I want to save the battery power as long as I can.

Does this add any functionality to the 7th-gen iPod nano?

The seventh-generation iPod nano that Apple announced today has tech specs which list it as not requiring the receiver that plugs into the dock connector of other iPods and older nanos, nor does it require the sensor that is inserted into Nike shoes.

I'm curious how the new iPod nano tracks distance and pace if it doesn't have the shoe sensor. So to ask clearly, does the new iPod nano (announced October 2011) replace all of the functionality of the Nike + iPod Sport Kit? How does it work? Thanks!
