Do you know if the ...a long-shot, but here goes...<br /><br />Do you know if the Nike + iPod Watch Remote works on the latest generation nano without requiring the Nike+ app to be open in 'workout mode' (along with Nike+ dongle to be attached)? Can it operate independently of each other in unison with your new 'going wireless' findings?<br /><br />My assumption is that the nano would still need the Nike+ dongle to function the watch remote.<br /><br />Sorry if my comment is a little obscure, but I still have this legacy device from Nike and I am aware that they, and Apple, are no longer supporting it on the newer iOS platforms. This means that 2 iOS apps "Nike + iPod" and Nike+ GPS" (for Touch/iPhone) will no longer enable remote functionality for anything above iOS4. As we now have iOS5 available, it seems Nike has completely dropped the ball and left great products to die needlessly. It also seems that Apple has removed iTunes sync with Nikeplus.com and via the settings you must wirelessly push your workout results to Nikeplus.com directly. Shame really.<br /><br />I vaguely understand that the nano uses Nike+iPod and not the Nike+GPS app as it's default app. Is this correct?<br /><br />There could have been a very good opportunity to go truly wireless or 'minimalist' to hide your nano away instead of fiddling with the touchscreen, when changing tracks or volume. Particularly if you are sweaty from your workout.<br /><br />My dream would be to have the remote on my wrist, my nano tucked away in a concealed pocket along with wireless earphones -- which looks like you may be opting for in the not to distant future.<br /><br />Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.<br /><br />And thank you for the excellent research.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7634708827578650894.post-49310645428358590702011-10-12T23:37:06.511-07:002011-10-12T23:37:06.511-07:00I like it.
