It works great. When I jog, I don’t feel like I am swatting flies because the wires are not flapping around. I also was worried about the sweat thing. It is not a problem. The strap goes around the iPod and the strap is what touches the skin. I like it.</p> Saw the product at the Head of the Charles Regatta last week and bought one. It works great.

It works AWESOME with Runner+ and you don’t have to deal with Nike+’s slow website. If you have any more questions, feel free to contact me!

There is a Nike+ forum where you can subscribe to challenges and chat etc. It's well supported and quite addictive although as with everything in life it has it faults. Hope that helps.</p> I would be a bit worried about the sweating issue, particularly when i have heard/read about people having issues with the Nano in an armband, putting it on your neck could be just asking for trouble?

I have an iPod shuffle, but am considering upgrading to one that I can actually choose specific songs.</p> <p>Just out of curiosity... how does the nike+ work w/ the iPods? I use runner+ but would like to upload my runs like I see so many other people doing, without doing it manually. Any light you can shed on this would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Megan</p> Looks interesting.
