Time names Nike + iPod Sports kit 'Gadget of the Week'



That's right, Apple loving Time has named the Nike + iPod Sports Kit their 'Gadget of the Week.' Calling it the 'most elegant of high-tech runner's aids' Time sings the praises of the system, though it does note that while the $29 cost seems cheap you do need an iPod nano plus the special Nike shoes (which we know isn't true).

The Nike + iPod Sports Kit has been out for a little while now, what do folks think about it?

Wish it would work with a regular iPod, just seems unfair that those of us with the regular iPods are left out :(

Then again it could be a good excuse to pick up a used Nano ;)

That should be Apple-loving Time (as opposed to Apple that loves Time). Hyphenate your compound adjectives.

Ya, that's been one complaint about how it drains the living crap out of my iPod on battery life .... I had a full charge before I went running about three days ago, and just under 3 sessions of 2+ miles each (or 6 miles total) I have an almost dead iPod. Just like the wifi gadgets w/ bluetooth phones.. it drains down the battery of anything it's installed on ....

I can't believe that he said it is the size of a pebble. I mean I haven't held one but to me it looks more like a flat rock that would skip well across a lake. Besides I think I could run with a "pebble" in my shoe with only minor iritation but this thing needs its own slot to lay in.

I think they should say how long the batteries last.
