Nike has updated its Nike+ fitness site with a number of new features, and added a streamlined version for access via the iPhone or iPod touch. The redesigned main site still relies upon Flash, but features a more prominent Goals section, with a simplified interface and better context. Also new is the Levels feature, which awards users a color-coded level based on the number of miles they’ve run, the ability to rate individual runs, and the ability to integrate Nike+ data with a Twitter or Facebook account. On the iPhone and iPod touch, users are limited to viewing recent runs; both sites are still considered to be in “beta” status. [via TUAW]

If you choose to run with something as heavy as the iPhone, I suggest using Runkeeper Pro which uses the GPS on the iPhone to give much more accurate readings. I do think Nike+ works great for the Nano, but have had better success with Runkeeper on my iPhone.
