Nike+ iPod Sport Kit
Cool New Gear For Runners & Walkers
The Nike+ iPod Sports Kit allows you to listen to your favorite tunes while you run or walk AND track your speed and distance. A sensor placed on the Nike shoes tracks time, distance and speed and transmits this information to the iPod receiver. The iPod can give audible feedback and let you know your pace or how many calories you have burned. The sensor and receiver come with the kit and Nike sells shoes with a compartment specifically made for the sensor, although other companies do sell sensor pouches which can attach to your current pair of running or walking shoes.
it’s not new, but I love mine. Took a few runs to get it calibrated to my gait, but it’s cool that it tracks my runs and pace and a log of run - I used to do that by hand, but it took too much time.
You can put the sensor in shoes other than the nike shoes. The sensor just needs to be attached. It easier in the special part of the nike shoes though.
