Nike+iPod Sport Kit July 23rd, 2006 | by Jason Tomczak

Nike and Apple have created an absolutely fantastic product. In fact, they’ve done more than that – they’ve created a means to an exercise revolution. The Nike+iPod Sport Kit is not a diet fad, it’s not a chemical-laced sports drink that’ll only drag you down or slowly melt your brain – it’s a technological means to improving one’s physical self in a fun, invigorating, self-reliant and environmentally sustainable manner.  

After experiencing the Nike+iPod Sport Kit, I can only imagine (and hope) that Apple will team with Nike and/or other sport-centric companies to design offshoots of the Nike+iPod Sport Kit, like the “Bike+iPod Road Kit” for cyclists. This would be brilliant! I would certainly buy a bicycle for the occasion.   

• Exciting use of technology for exercise
• Surprisingly accurate measurements
• Can be used in nearly any running shoe 

• Only available in white
• Total setup is somewhat spendy
