Today, Nike and Apple announced a new line of "Nike+iPod" products, the first of which is the Nike+iPod Sport Kit. This wireless system allows Nike+ shoes to talk to an iPod nano.
Nike+ footwear will be connected to the iPod nano via the Nike+iPod Sport Kit, and will calculate time, distance, calories burned and pace. The information will be displayed on the nano's screen. Real-time audible feedback also is provided through headphones.
"The result is like having a personal coach or training partner motivating you every step of your workout." Said Apple CEO Steve Jobs, in today's press release.
Additionally, a new Nike Sport Music section is being added to the iTunes music store. |
