Nike+iPod Sport Kit-Are You Ready For The Magic?
The first product to emerge from the new partnership is the Nike+iPod Sport Kit which is a wireless system. Thanks to its innovative design and architecture the Nike footwear communicates with the Nano for the ultimate workout and training session. Thus the kit no doubt will be loved by those who are passionate about both running and music. The kit would feature the new Nike+ Air Zoom Moire shoe which when simply put, talks to your iPod and via the Sport Kit the users can be privy to vital information like distance, calories burned and pace which gets displayed on the iPod. If all this is making your mind boggle, wait theirs more.
This little technological marvel also has an integrated shoe sensor and a receiver which can be attached to the iPod. You can also listen to the information via the headphones and can access some great music and other stuff on the new Nike Sport Music section on the iTunes(R) Music Store and the nikeplus.com personal service site. Looks like the Nike-iPod kit has already garnered some some celebrity fan following as athletes like Armstrong and Radcliff were found commenting on the new kit. To get started you require a Nike+ shoe and a iPod nano with Mac(R) with a USB 2.0 and Mac OS(R) X version 10.3.9 or later and iTunes 6.0.5; or a Windows PC with a USB 2.0 port and Windows 2000, XP Home or Professional (SP2) and iTunes 6.0.5.For more info visit: Nike Press Release

Nike+iPod is a partnership between two iconic, global brands with a shared passion for creating meaningful consumer product experiences through design and innovation," Parker said. "This is the first result, and Nike+iPod will change the way people run. Nike+iPod creates a better running experience. We see many more such Nike+ innovations in the future."
"We're working with Nike to take music and sport to a new level," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "The result is like having a personal coach or training partner motivating you every step of your workout."
