For some iPhone owners, the only way it’d have an impact on their fitness levels is if they had to chase after a mugger who’s just nicked it. However, others are more sporty - and it’s they who’ll be celebrating the news that Nike plans to release its Nike+ fitness tracker application for iPhone and iPod Touch.
It’s already available for iPod as part of a partnership between Nike and Apple - it’s basically a gizmo that slots into your iPod and tracks how far you’ve run using an accelerometer, so you can analyse it when you get home. Like an extra-smart iPedometer, in other words.
Anyway, Stuff.tv has been at Nike HQ and confirms that the app will come out for iPhone and iPod Touch later this year. They reckon it’ll use the Wi-Fi in both devices to allow data to be uploaded to users’ training logs on the fly when you get home, rather than waiting till you’ve synched with your PC.
