During today's "Let's Rock" Event in San Francisco, Apple CEO Steve Jobs demonstrated built-in Nike capabilities for the iPod touch running iPhone OS 2.1 (due this week for the iPhone and already on Apple's servers for the iPod touch). However, it appears that this update may only be available for the iPod touch and not for the iPhone running OS 2.1.

The Nike iPod Sport Kit page on the Apple Store lists only the second-generation iPod touch and iPod nano, making no mention of the iPhone. There is also no mention of the iPhone on Apple's Nike iPod compatibility page.

I have the sport kit for my nano, but was really excited about the ability to track my runs w/ GPS.; Like this Reply to this comment
