Nike+ iPod Sport Kit
Summary: Nike+iPod Sport Kit - Nike and Apple have collaborated on a kit that allows runners to use a monitor in their shoes to measure data including calories burned, pace, and distance. The sensor will transmit the data to an iPod for on-screen display. The data can also be uploaded to a runner's personal log at nikeplus.com The Nike+iPod Sport Kit (available in late July 2006 at $29) comes with a sensor that fits inside compatiable Nike footwear (sold separately) and a wireless receiver that attaches to the iPod. Data on running time, distance, pace and calories burned can be stored on the iPod, which could then display the information on-screen or delivered audibly through headphones. After a workout, the data can be automatically sent to a runner's personal log at the NikePlus.com website. An early adopter of the new Nike+iPod Sport Kit is seven time Tour de France winner, Lance Armstrong. Armstrong, who plans to run the 2006 New York marathon, states that, "It will take working out to a whole new level.". The first Nike running shoe to talk to the iPod will be the Nike+ Air Zoom Moire.
