I hope they continue to develop on the software - it is a great tool.
Also, I hope they open the format up - other hackers could build
programs for that data. BTW, I did a full review complete with
pictures and software screen shots on my website:

I'm unique in that I have it tied in with a Mac OS X computer. Some
challenges initially but Nike Tech Support has stepped up lately to
help with these problems. The Software is fantastic - graphing
progress and controlling the watch. The watch is also great - only
some issues with the way data is displayed - would like a little more
control over what data is shown during a run or workout. The SDM is
accurate if you calibrate it correctly and the HRM is like most -
accurate and it won't let you cheat. Watch battery life, however. You
can change the batter in both the HRM and SDM but you don't have much
warning - only that it starts to behave strangly (suddon rize in HR
for example scared me on one run - then I realized there was no way my
HR was 225!). Its a great watch
