Nike and Apple

Nike and Apple are teaming up to create a running shoe:

A sensor and receiver embedded in the shoe provide a wireless connection
to the iPod, with workout information stored on the device and displayed on
the screen. Runners can get audible feedback through the headphones, and
data stored on the Nano can be downloaded to a Mac or PC after a run...

..."What's cool about the Apple-Nike announcement is that the iPod is now an
application platform for personal information," said Ted Schadler, a Forrester
Research analyst, in a blog posting. "It could always store contacts and photos.
But now it can log your miles, calories, and exercise time."

I personally can't wait until iPods and cell phone merge to a larger extent than they do now.

Besides the topic I thought this article was interesting because they quoted someone from the person's blog. It is disappointing they didn't provide a link. That is something very basic that seems to be missing from any "traditional" print newpaper/magazine on the web.
