Nike Inc. said on Tuesday that its shoes will now be able to talk to Apple Computer Inc.'s iPod music players about how far anathlete has run with a new wireless system called Nike+iPod. Using a Nike+iPod Sports Kit, expected to retail for about $29, consumers will be able to access distance, time, pace and calories burned on the screen of a nano version of the iPod via a sensor inside the shoes that communicates with the digital music player. The kit will be available in stores within two months and other products will follow. Nike, the No. 1 global footwear company, said the Nike+ Air Zoom Moire was the first shoe designed to work with the system. Apple will also include a Nike Sport Music section on its iTunes music store, the companies said. |
