I admit it. I’ve always thought that the Nike+ shoe sensor thing was kind of lame. Even though I actually do own the right shoes, I never thought it worth while to pick up the optional pedometer sensor just so I could take advantage of the built-in iPhone feature.
I know that there are people out there who really loved using the Nike+ features on their iPhone but I’ve much preferred using other tracking apps and skipping the shoe tie-in.
Now, several years after GPS debuted on the iPhone 3G, Nike has finally made the move to shoe-less positioning. For $1.99, you can pick up a copy of Nike+ GPS. The reviews on the iTunes site have been generally positive, but it’s clear that this is a slick yet limited application.
