yes it works the same way as if your walking or running outside...just make sure you have both the sensor in (or attached) to your sneaker and the receiver in your ipod

Does the Nike Sport Kit work with the iPhone 3G?
I read 3 different answers for this question -
a flat out No,
one answer stated a conversation with Apple who said it only worked with the 3GS,
and a Yes if the iPhone 3G has the 3.0 update.
So which is it?
THANKS!

As far as I know, the iPhone 3G does not have the hardware necessary to support the 3G. This hardware is an RFID chip, and the 3GS comes with this chip. The purpose of the dongle, however, is to act as the RFID chip. The iPhone 3G does not support the dongle accessory, so you're out of luck. I am looking for an answer myself, but this is what I have found out from my research. I hope that helps.

Answer
I've been using both for a couple of months now and I haven't noticed any interference yet, aside from being able to hear my heart beat if I run the earphone line too close to the heart rate monitor, that is!

I have a ipod 3rd generation, is the second genaration the same as the 3rd?
- Asked by Logan C from Alpharetta
- Feb 23, 2010
- Flag as inappropriate
Answer
Yes. Stores just call them 3rd generation but apple will tell you they ARE 2nd generations. The way stores get away with this is because apple dropped the 16gb and added the 64gb so to the stores this is the 3rd generation. So as far as ordering accessories you want 2nd generation items. Hope this was helpful

does the nike + ipod support kit comes with a nike shoes
- Asked by Jordan D from Pine Hill
- Jan 30, 2010
- Flag as inappropriate
Answer
No, it does not come with the shoes. You will have to purchase the nike+ shoes available at the Nike stores. You can go to nikerunning.com and use the footwear finder to find the right nike+ shoes for you.
Then you can get the sensor from Apple. The sport kit is useful for iPod Nano but if you're using iPod Touch 2nd gen/iPhone 3GS/nike sportband the sensor alone is enough.- Answered by Filyn B from Kuching

If i have the newest iPod touch do i need both the shoe sensor and the iPod plug in? or just the show sensor?
- Asked by Phillip P from Newmarket

Best Answer
According to the apple website under "Nike+iPod"
" Grab your iPod nano, iPod touch, or iPhone 3GS, a pair of Nike+ shoes, and the Nike + iPod Sport Kit or Sensor. Put the sensor in your Nike+ shoe — there’s a built-in pocket specifically designed for it under the insole. Then connect the receiver to your iPod nano.
iPod touch and iPhone 3GS include built-in support for Nike + iPod, so NO receiver [aka iPod plug in] is necessary.
The sensor tracks your run, then sends the data to your iPod."
That would suggest that only the shoe sensor is necessary.
Hope this helps.- Answered by Jennifer P from La Habra
