Nike and iPod team up because neither of them QUITE rules the world yet

by

nipod.jpgIn short, there’s a thing you put in your running shoe and it transmits data to your iPod. Your iPod can then tell you how much slower you’re running than a month ago when you were last inspired to do some exercise.

Apple and particularly Nike will tell you that you need the special Nike trainers to put the pedometer thing in, but you don’t.

This is just as well, because Nike trainers are really, really bad for running in. If you’ve got even the faintest intention of running further than the end of the road then you’ll break your feet if you wear Nike trainers. Despite what Nike tell you, their footwear isn’t designed for sport. It’s designed for looking like you do sport, which is entirely different.
