What is the Nike+iPod kit and how does it work?
The Nike+iPod kit consists of a sensor which is placed in the sole of your left Nike+ shoe and a receiver which plugs into the bottom of the iPod Nano. The sensor in your shoe detects when you take steps (while walking or jogging) and transmits this information to the receiver. When you start a workout session with the iPod, software on the iPod collects the data from the sensor and keeps track of the distance you’ve walked and the pace at which you’re walking at. During a workout the iPod can provide audio feedback about the time, distance, pace, or calories burned. Once a workout is completed users can sync their iPod’s with iTunes and upload their data to the Nike+ website which contains software to track your workouts, challenge other users to competitions, and set personal goals for you to accomplish. • Q: How much does the Nike+iPod kit cost, and is it popular?
