Hello,

For the iPhone Apple does not needs Nike’s help.
The iPhone has its own accelerometer.
With the right tweaking it could be replacing all needed hardware, including the shoes.

What Gym will be…
Plug the iPhone on your arm, it will register every movement.
You’ll be able to do the same excersizes as the Wii Fit delivers.
Even powertraining.

The thing for jogging. iPhone will trak everything, also WHERE you run.
So in that way, you could select a park where you want to run and the training. In that case, the iPhone could calculate the circuit through the park. Not only horizontal, but also vertical. Going up or dawn a hill, etc… That is the future of jogging. Mark my words.

Apple seems a bit clueless with these external devices for iPhone. Why the ¤#%¤% don’t they allow Bluetooth for the external devices? They want their cut of the sales by licensing the connector?

I wish they would find a way to integrate that transmitter into the Iphone. It’s a pain having that think sticking out on my nano…I couldn’t use bluetooth headphones and the nike+ as the same time. That’s not a issue I head if the new iphone has a2dp…but still…might as well just integrate it…
