NIKE + IPOD = ?


Two of our favourite companies finally got together this week to produce a new way to run with your iPod Nano. Unfortunately we at 707 don't run unless being chased so are unlikely to be throwing down the 29 bucks anytime soon.

Basically you put an pebble-sized sensor in certain pairs of Nike shoes and attach a wireless adaptor to your Nano then go for a run. As you can see in the image, it then displays all kinds of related info on the iPod's screen (and via voice feedback), which will later be synced with your computer and a special Nike website. This means that you can later track details of all your runs and see various details broken down in graph form.

Almost cool enough to tempt us to start jogging. Sure, right.
