I run with both my Nano or my IPhone 3gs depending on the day/weather/mood etc. & while i am able to upload to Nike + site with either I have a seperate history on each device & personal bests are subsequently different on each. Is there a way to sync both???

No, there is no clean way to do that. Generally you should think of these devices as dumb devices that are simply used to report data up to a centralized datastore which is what keeps track of your personal bests.

is there a "dirty" way to do it (that wont void the warranty :-)???

Well, everything is just a file on the device. I don't have an iPhone (or any phone actually) but at least for the Nano you can just mount it as a drive and shuffle stuff around. If you poke around under the iPod_Control/Device/Trainer/Workouts directory you should be able to find an xml file containing the data. I haven't specifically looked for the personal bests in there, so I am not sure which file they are in, but it shouldn't be very hard to find.

To my knowledge, iPhone and iTouch do not allow disk access. I have an iTouch and have yet to be able to gain access to the drive. My Nano (as was mentioned) mounts as a drive.

I can access my iphone 3gs's rundata with a for-pay Mac product (that i happened to already own) called phoneview... http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/
...this lets you mount the "media partitions" (not the whole shebang unless you're jailbroken)there's apparently a free program for windows and Mac at http://www.iphone-explorer.com/ that does the same thing (i haven't tried that)
...if you're a linux user, you can use libiphone and fuse to mount the media partitions in a similar way

I used to use this method, until phoneview on my mac added the feature.once you get your iphone media filesystem mounted (and presumably, the ipod touch is similar... i don't own one), you'll find the run data in

one other note... if you're using phoneview on a mac to access your iphone's media folders, you'll need to turn on "Show entire disk (Advanced Disk Mode" in the phoneview preferences.
