Hi,
I have just bought the iPod Nano 6G and am wanting to get the Nike + iPod sports kit, but not sure if I need the whole kit or just the Nike + iPod sensor?
Does the 6G nano have a bulit-in reciever?
Some help/advice would be greatly appreciated!!
I'm going insane trying to find this out 🙂
Cheers.

No, you don't need a Nike + sensor or adapter for the 6th gen ipod Nano.
The 1.2 OS update meant that the sensor was not necessary anymore. Which was a shame for me because I bought one especially before they updated it...but it is so much more convenient not having to use the sensor!
Hello sammioc.
The reason you would have the Nike + iPod Sport Kit for the 6th gen nano is if you wanted to upload and track your workout data on the Nike website. If you are not doing that then it is not needed.
Hope this helps.

I've stopped using the nike+ sensor and adapter since the update and all my runs are still uploaded to the nike+ website seemlessly when I connect my pod to itunes.
To be honest, as far as I can see, the update to the 6th generation nano makes the nike+ sensort and adapter completely unnecessary.
Rainbowdrops,
Thanks for letting me know. Its good to hear everything is working.

It clearly states on the apple website that "*For iPod nano (6th generation), the Nike + iPod Sport Kit is optional and only required for workouts using the Polar Wearlink®+ Heart Rate Transmitter for Nike+."

FallonAZ,
Thanks for the clarification. 😉

Hey, sorry to bring up an oldpost buti've heard that having the nike+ sport kit is more accurate (evenafter the update) than just using the built in pedometer, can anyone confirm?
I'm thinking of getting 6th gen nano and deciding whether or not to get the sport kit with it too for improved accuracy.
Can someone please tell me if I need the Nike iPod sports kit or just the Nike sensor for my iPod Nano 6G?
