The two companies announced Tuesday they are jointly developing a wireless system so some Nike shoes embedded with a sensor can communicate with Apple's iPod Nano music player to track a runner's performance and help choreograph songs to the moment.

...

Data on running time, distance, pace and calories burned would be stored on the iPod, which could then display the information on-screen or deliver it audibly through headphones.

...

The iPod will also incorporate a new "Power Song" feature, so a user can instantly queue up a piece of music for extra motivation at the push of a button.

I'm curious who thinks it'll catch on?

And some people why America is so hated.

[Charismatic]

Why are we hated?

[Polpolion]

I never really liked I-pods. I don't know why. Maby it's because it's made by Apple and/or maby it's because it uses AIFs. Or maby it's because IDIOTS LIKE NIKE ARE TAKING IT TO FAR!!!

*takes a breath

*sits back down

Sorry.

[Dough with Fish]

Oh, wow... This is the thing that people mock about technology, and it's actually going to HAPPEN? What the hell

[Rictor]

Why are we hated?

Because you're putting iPods in shoes. I don't know, it's kind of self-explanitory. I am exaggerating ever so slightly, but you can imagine how this looks; Germany gave the world Martin Luther and Bach, Greece gave the world mathematics, logic and Plato, India have the world Buddha, America have the world consumer electronics imbedded in footwear.

It's such an absurd thing for anyone to make, it sort of borders on sinful.

..alright, I'll stop now.

I like the idea actually.

How awsome would it be to have "Eye of the tiger!" kick in just as you thought you were getting tired, and it helps push you over the last few k's.

Then "we are the champions" when you come to a stop.

[Ulala]

Haha, well for the record, it's not an iPod in your shoe, but a wireless transmitter that will transmit to your iPod that you have to blow money on seperately.
