The iPhone may only be heading towards it fourth birtday, but Nike’s Nike+ is turning five years old. Nike temporarily dropped the price of its iPhone app from $1.99 to free as party of the anniversary.
The Nike+ GPS app does not need the shoe sensor that was designed to work with early versions of the iPod nano. It can record your pace, measure distance run and track your route. Voice feedback is available during a run as is a map with your current location.
You can share your running data with the community on the Nike+ site as well as Facebook and Twitter.

Twitter is now available as a tool for your diet and exercise resolutions, and it’s an excellent tool at that. Read more
