@DeejIpad: Well, I guess it shows some kind of progress that Apple support is telling you to turn off the voice. When I first reported the issue, they had no idea how to troubleshoot the problem. I'm guessing enough people are starting to report the problem that they've caught on to the Internet chatter about it and are telling people what we've been able to figure out for ourselves. And if that's true, that might mean they're working on a solution for it, too. Of course, we'll never know because no one at Apple or Nike has acknowledged the issue head on or hinted at any long-term fix for it.
Apple and Nike should know that we're not just casual runners. We actually give a s**t about this, and had come to rely on their product. This isn't a good reflection of either their understanding of their customer base or passion for this particular product line. Perhaps I'm being harsh, but I've been dealing with this problem since January with no movement from either company.
It's sad because Nike just started a campaign called "Stronger Every Run" to raise money on the eve of the Boston Marathon and "Run with the Nike+ Running App on Monday, April 21st." Anyone want to join me in tweeting @nikerunning and tell them, "I'd love to run with Nike+ Running App, but unfortunately it doesn't work on iPods anymore"? If you do it, make sure you include a link to this discussion thread.
