Nike+iPod
Nike+iPod is a collaboration between Nike, Inc. and Apple Inc. that integrates Nike's athletic footwear with Apple's iPod music player. The system allows users to track their running performance and listen to music simultaneously. It was first introduced in 2006 and has since evolved with advancements in technology.
Overview[edit | edit source]
The Nike+iPod system consists of a sensor that fits into a specially designed compartment in the sole of a Nike+ shoe and a receiver that connects to an iPod. The sensor communicates with the iPod to provide real-time feedback on the user's performance, including distance, pace, and calories burned. This data can be synced with the Nike+ website, where users can track their progress, set goals, and share their achievements with the community.
