Will it work with Converse?

It works with adidas shoes too?

For those who were wondering, it also works if you tape it to your foot and run barefoot.

Behold… the power of velcro!

I'd like to know if it works with Rollerblades...

How about bicycling, does it work for cycling? If it did you'd think Lance would've been on a bicycle.

Re: Duh...

OMG...LOL..LOL..

Re: Jeff

Now that would be cool.

I've got one of those perpetual-motion bird things that dips into a cup of water. If I attach the iPod thing to it, I can log miles while sitting on the couch eating chips and watching G4.

You know what is really funny.... Niketown sells a thing called a shoe wallet that you can just put the sensor in and attach to your laces $29.. No velcro required.

Duh,

Hence MDN's use of the to close their Take.

Talk about "Duh..."

Nike is the only manufacturer that has created a hole in their shoe to fit the device. It should work with any shoe if you are willing to velcro or duct tape it to your shoe or ankle.

I expect one of the iPod accessory makers will market a similar gizmo. This is great, because that will expand the market for the device beyond the Nike owners. I can't imagine that such a gizmo has to cost more than $5.

I don't think it'll work with rollerblades or your bike. The action used in those activities is much more fluid than running. You can also coast. In blading, your sideways movement gives you more power than going straight forward. For those, however, you should try the Timex Ironman series watches that have GPS. They tell you speed & distance up to 1/1000 of a mile. I got 2 on woot.com for about $80 each.

"How about bicycling, does it work for cycling?"

Not well.

Essentially, what these things do is they count the number of "impacts" (ie, your foot hitting the ground). My roomate has one and it works poorly with a bicycle because there's no real "impact."

Generally, I wouldn't wear one of these while bicycling anyway.

the sneakers are one thing, but would the ipod part work with a video ipod or shuffle?
