The Nike + iPod on iPhone 3GS is pretty slick. Since it is an official Apple App, it gets the benefit of backgrounding. This means you can respond to SMS, take a quick picture or video and even Twitter without interrupting your workout progress.

One of the more interesting things about Nike+ on the iPhone is that you can control the music with the Apple headphone remote. You can pause, skip, rewind, adjust volume and even run Voice Control to find out what song is playing!
