Nike and Apple have teamed up to launch a new line of NIKE+iPod products. The two companies today announced the first product developed through the partnership - the NIKE+iPod Sport Kit, a wireless system that allows Nike+ footwear to connect to an iPod nano to store information on time, distance, calories burned and pace. The kit provides real-time audible feedback through headphones, and includes an in-shoe sensor and a small receiver that attaches to the dock connector of the iPod. The new NIKE+ Air Zoom Moire is the first footwear designed to work with the kit. The NIKE+iPod Sport Kit will be available “within 60 days” for a retail price of $29. Please note that the battery cannot be replaced on the reciever, so a new one will have to be purchased when it dies. Also the kit requires iTunes 6.0.5 which has not been released yet.
