I persuaded my wife to pimp her iPod nano with Nike + Ipod Sports Kit (a sensor pad, receiver and compatible Nike sneakers). “Thanks to a unique partnership between NIKE and Apple, your iPod nano becomes your coach. Your personal trainer.“
Like any Apple products the thing was easy to start with and was obviously quite entertaining. However the accuracy could have been better: my FRWD gps device measured our test tour to be 4,4k while the Nike+ Sports Kit gave my wife 5,12k result. I am quite confident that this tour is not longer than 4,5k. There is possibility to calibrate the device so I will hold my final judgement. FRWD will suit my needs better, but due to the ease of use and cheap price this setup is very interesting concept in the category of training gadgets.
