The New Nike + iPod is now available for iPod Touch and iPod Nano. It is a great way to measure your time, the distance that you have run, your pace, calories burned, and other things.
It works by putting a chip in the bottom of your shoe, and having your iPod wirelessly receive signals from the chip. Your iPod will give you all of the information and compare it to the goal that you set on your iPod. Later, when you connect your iPod to your computer, you can sync all of the information to nikeplus.com. It will store all of your exercise information and create a chart to show if you are improving.
In the Article that I read, It tells all of the negatives about the Nike + iPod kit. One thing that is bad about this kit, is it does not use the new features of the iPod Nano and iPod Touch. Both of these iPod’s now have the accelerometer in them, or the sensor that can measure movement and the direction of gravity. This is exactly what the chip you put in your shoe does. The argument is that this kit has no point and the iPods could calculate this information without it, like the Wii Remote. Another negative of this kit is why doesn’t it use the internet features of the iPod Touch. It could sync your information to nikeplus.com whenever you connect to WiFi instead of needing to connect to a computer.
