Nike and iPod develop musical footwear

[dipdude]

Nike and Apple have combined the worlds of sports and music with a new wireless system that allows Nike footwear to communicate with an iPod nano.

Through a Nike+iPod Sport Kit - which includes an in-shoe sensor and a receiver that attaches to an iPod - Nike's shoes can relate information on time, distance, calories burned and pace during a workout to the iPod.

A new Nike Sport Music section has been created on the iTunes Music Store and a tie-in website - nikeplus.com

Specially designed Nike apparel with waterproof pockets that accommodate an iPod nano will also be released onto the market shortly.

Dvorak: iPod+Nike = 'Nutty'

John C. Dvorak gives his opinions on Apple's new partnership with Nike, using phrases such as "The irony here is that Jobs has become that sugar water salesman but hasn't noticed it yet"

Well its for those who wanna listen to music during their morning jog! I believe it also has an in-built sensor that records the time ,distance covered and the calories burnt by the person.
