Nike + Ipod + Ipod Sport Kit = $$$
Ok – here it is what you need to get in shape!
Get a pair of Nike Shoes but only those you feature a built-in pocket under the insole specially engineered for the Nike+iPod sensor. Then of corse you need an Ipod – the Nano version please and last but not least the Ipod Sport Kit. That Kit allows your Nike shoe to talk to your Nano. The sensor uses a sensitive accelerometer to measure your activity, then wirelessly transfers this data to the receiver on your iPod nano.
How to Use the Nike+iPod Sport Kit
Step 1.
Place the sensor in your left Nike+ shoe, in the built-in pocket beneath the insole. You can leave the sensor in your shoe even when you're not working out.
Step 2.
Attach the receiver to your iPod nano. The receiver fits snugly into the Dock connector, located on the bottom of your iPod nano next to the Headphone jack.
Step 3.
Hit the ground running with workout-based voice feedback, Nike Sport Music content, and an iPod nano that stays in tune with every step.
Ok sounds cool – does it work? Did ever anybody try???

This has the perfume of a great and also useless idea. I really wonder if there is anybody interested in this. The iPod will stop every time you want a break or what? Useless! A better idea should be a device able to recharge the batteries using the pressure in your shoes. But we don’t want to upset the battery companies, do we?
