Nike's Amp+ watch integrates with Apple's iPod nano receiver for Nike+ shoes
The LED displays time of day and icons for iPod nano controls when activated by the remote. It gives instant voice feedback of time, distance, calories and pace when you add the Nike+ iPod Sport Kit and Nike+ Ready shoes.
Nike Plus is a technology that allows runner’s shoes to communicate with their iPod Nanos. The Nike+iPod Sport kit consists of a small oval pod that you insert under the liner of your shoe (much like a SIM card), and a small transmitter that attaches to your Nano. The kit will cost $29. You load up your Nano with selections from the iTunes Store’s new Nike Sport Music section, manage your workout on the NikePlus site, put on your Nike Plus gear (see details on all of these after the jump), and you are good to go.
Nike and Apple yesterday announced a partnership bringing the worlds of sports and music together like never before with the launch of innovative Nike+iPod products.
The first product developed through this partnership is the Nike+iPod Sport Kit, a wireless system that allows Nike+ footwear to talk with your iPod nano to connect you to the ultimate personal running and workout experience.
