I know this is a long shot, but has anyone in Seoul seen a shop selling the Nike + iPod Sport kit?

For me, it looks like one of the few useful iPod accessories around. I use Google Earth to measure my distances, but I'd like something perhaps more accurate/convenient.

I don't have my hopes up, since Korea is so slow to adopt such things. If it had a cellphone attached, however....you'd see them sold on every second street corner, for X's sakes! Rolling Eyes

You can order it from Apple Korea. It only works with the iPod Nano, though. And you have to have the special shoes.

I checked but I don't see it on their website. Do you have an url, or is this something one finds out on the phone?

As to the nano, no problem. The shoes, well, I've seen articles where the device can be attached to the shoe with velcro under the laces, or one could conceivably make a little hollow under the arch like Nike does.

Talked to the guy at the Itaewon Nike shop and he told me they won't be released in Korea until January of next year.
