I know that it is about a tenth of a mile off or so. There is a run from my house that is 2 miles to a bridge and when I get out there it usually reads around 1.85. I think it is more of a function of having moved the sensor to different shoes and they may not be laying where they used to in relation to my foot.

I'm pretty sure it has to do with steps per mile. When you calibrate, I think it calculates an average steps/mile for you and when you run faster than that pace, you take fewer steps/mile thus the iPod thinks you haven't reached your mile yet. It's just a theory, but it makes sense to me. I've noticed when I run recovery runs I get too much credit for mileage which would fit with my theory as well.
