I found this article about Apple putting multiple sensors in their phones. Since I'm on the outside looking in, I will put forth what my opinion and those of you who own the devices can reply. This should help me better understand so I can form a more educated opinion.

Can you use Nike+ with it? If not you can always use Run Keeper which means the phone will be exposed to the elements, high humidity and sweat. This app is listed in their top sales charts via the app store. (I know this how? Follow the guy who wrote it via twitter) So if it's an accepted app then apple would know people are running with their phones. That leads me to believe the phone was built to a higher standard. Sorta like watches. Some watches have no water resistance versus (for example) Timex Ironmans that are made to be used in training and racing conditions normally found in a triathlon. I know tons of people who run with their ipods so by adding the audio functionality in the phone and marketing it as an all in one, wouldn't the end user assume ( I know I know, bad words) the same level of weather resistance as their audio player?

Still 50-50 on this one so if you have some insight, let me have it. thx.
