Apple and Nike announced today the
Nike+iPod Sport Kit. This wireless sensor sits embedded in specific models of Nike sneakers and transmits workout information--such as running pace, distance traveled, and calories burned--to your iPod Nano. Plus, Apple will have some sort of Nike section on iTunes Music Store for downloading music mixes and the like.

The kit costs $29 and will be available within 60 days. Right now it works with the Nike+ Air Zoom Moire ($129 with the kit). The kit is for the iPod Nano only. This is not Nike's first foray into the portable music player market. Remember the
S3/Rio PSA Play 120?
I'm a little unclear on the rest of the details. As Nike answers my questions and uploads photos, I'll add that info here.
why only the ipod nano?
hey, i run all the time! I have an ipod mini though. This would be cool if it would work with my ipod. The shoes are not that attractive they have no style what so ever.
does it work in ipod mini bcuz i have a ipod mini
but i just want to know if this works on my ipod?
