Nike+iPod sports kit

Nike is making running shoes that will tell the wearer how fast he or she has run and how many calories they have burned. The instant information will come from a miniature iPod and a new wireless systemcalled Nike+iPod. Using a nike+iPod Sports Kit, expected to sell for about $29, miniature versions of the iPod will be able to give audio data on time, distance, pace and calories burned on-demand through an attachable reciever that gets data from a sensor in the insole of special Nike shoes. The new Air Zoom Moire line of running shoes-priced at $100- are the first to have space for the sensor. Apple will also include a Nike Sport Music section on its iTunes music store. The Nike+iPod system will let runners call up a favourite song instantly and then instantly upload their workout information to a Nike website, www.nikeplus.com, where they can share the information with their friends.
