Hey Runners, have you heard of this little gadget?

The Nike iPod Sport Kit and Shoe? It's pretty cool. I'm hoping someone has heard of it, because I'm interested in using it walking if I can verify it works.

Re Hey Runners, have you heard of this little gadget?

I'm checking but I think a gal I know from another forum uses it. Seems like she was a fan. I'll let get back to let you know for sure.

Re Hey Runners, have you heard of this little gadget?

#1 was drooling over this earlier. I want to know why attach it to a running shoe- why is that better than simply taking your ipod with? Remember- speak slowly and use small words because I am not the geek.

You do take your iPod with. This turns your iPod into a dual function machine - music player and pedometer/run tracker thingie.

Re Hey Runners, have you heard of this little gadget?

Pedometer? That is very cool! Now I want one, too. The page about how to fit this with your own brand was a really helpful resource, I've bookmarked it.

Re Hey Runners, have you heard of this little gadget?

Yup, it's a good tracker for your workout. It'll let you know how much time/distance you've gone and how much you have left. I haven't heard much about them, but it looked pretty cool. Pricey, but cool. I think I'll just stick with my plain ipod though.

Re Hey Runners, have you heard of this little gadget?

I believe it also helps to select the music based on the rythym of your walk or run. You also don't need the more expensive shoes to use it. You can buy the sensor and ipod and attach the sensor to other shoes.

Re Hey Runners, have you heard of this little gadget?

Jackie loves the Ipod/Nike combo but hates the actual Nike shoes. Says they are not good for runners. She runs marathons though. Maybe for the average runner or walker those shoes would be good.

But even better would be to adapt them to your own shoe of choice.

Re Hey Runners, have you heard of this little gadget?

I didn't realize it was that cheap, I was expecting a lot more. Is that the kit you can use with any shoes?

Re Hey Runners, have you heard of this little gadget?

The kit with any shoes is made by someone else, its a hack of this kit. You'd have to buy both.

He just bought lights without permission. And then proceeded to run down the battery on his car running said lights.

I wish they'd learn not to buy without permission. Sheesh.
