ipod nano has a pedometer built in

But for measuring distance you can buy a Nike+ for €29 and hook it up with the nano
You don't need special Nike runners, buy a holder for sensor from ebay for a fiver

www.apple.ie
Not as accurate as the garmin watches but it's cheap and works well enough

Cheapest option (free) is to use mapmyrun. eitehr map out where you plan to run of where you ran and you will get the distance you are covering.

I use map my run too, I combine it with the use of my garmin. I was able to buy my garmin on ebay, with delivery for slightly over €110.

It was the 305 version and included the heart rate monitor too.
