Talk a Mile in My Shoes

A partnership between Nike and Apple has made it a lot harder to "overestimate" the speed and distance of training runners. The New York Times reports that Apple now sells an attachment for the Nano and a sensor that fits into specially designed Nike shoes. That
sensor. the paper reports, wirelessly transmits speed and stride length to the Nano
attachment, which plugs into the bottom of the player. Using special
software, the Nano then becomes a training partner, providing time,
distance and speed information on its color screen or via voice prompts
piped through the headphones. The Times reports that once you reach home, the Nike+iPod can connect to your PC or Mac and upload data about your run. Learn more about it here.
