iPod-talking running shoes
May 23, 2006 by Mike Wendland
Now your running shoes can talk to your iPod.
Apple and Nike announced today a soon-to-be available Nike+iPod $29 kit that will register with the iPod just how much distance the runner has covered. as well as time, pace and calories burned. A sensor buried in the shoes will transmit the info wirelessly to the nano version of the iPod, which will display it in real time on the iPod screen.
Is this smart, or what?
The market sure thinks so. Nike’s stock price went up more than $3 on the news. Apple shares jumped 59-cents.
