FCC Blesses Nike Amp+ Watch Remote for iPod

Nike's Amp+, a watch/remote control for the Nike+iPod, has just got the approval from the FCC. You can hear real-time voice feedback on your time, distance, calories and pace when you add the Nike+Ready shoes and Nike + iPod Sports Kit. There's even a button called the PowerSong on it - which you can set to start your favorite song, ideal for that boost you want during workouts or running.

The remote control lets you set the time, and control volume/track playback on the iPod. Workout functions include Start Workout, Voice Feedback, Play PowerSong, Pause/Resume Workout and End Workout. The watch/remote runs on a Lithium battery, and is water-resistant up to 50 meters. The buckle is made of stainless steel, while the strap is polyurethane and case is made of polycarbonate.

No word on the pricing yet, but it should hit the markets soon.
