Nathan from Spark Fun Electronics writes in with some great hackery on the Nike+iPod device...

"In the tradition of 'you buy it, we'll break it', we've gotten our hands on one of the nifty running accessories for the iPod. You put a small widget in your shoe, plug a piece of plastic into your iPod, and your iPod will tell you how far you've run. Sound simple? Well the hardware is actually surprisingly simple!"

They even made a great mod...

"...A USB to serial adapter to talk directly to the Nike+iPod receiver. Now we just have to wait for the PCBs to come in...

I like this idea a lot. Where RFID requires you to physically get near a reader, this active foot pod can transmit over 10-20ft. You don't need to think about getting an RFID card out of your wallet, you just let your shoes do the talking."
