First post!
Great for AAPL, bad for Nike!!!!
This is cool since my foot is too wide for most Nikes. I run in the Brooks Adrenaline and Axiom. Now I can no also use the Nike+iPod system. Good work Marware!!!
I’ve had trouble finding wide width Nikes…this is quite cool…now I’ll just have to figure out where to get this…
iPod universe expands.
Now if you hook yourself up with iPod nano and this plus Polar´s wristcomputer you get all help and information you need.

– apple.com has a lot of marware stuff – so it just might show up in your local apple store.
– directly from drbott.com, there (main) distributor
– directly from https://www.marware.com/
(they even use webobjects)
– check your local dealer (maybe even sports and not IT related), marware is actually a pretty big brand, so lots of iPod shops carry them…
The iPod ecosystem grows another increment, as does the iPod market lock-in. Apple needs more deals like this. Come on Apple, write a systems development kit (SDK) for the iPod — running first on OS X, later on Windows — to allow developers to extend the lock-in in other ways.
Dunno if I totally agree with you, LinuxGuy, I mean Apple has been very smart about choosing it’s partners so far.. Part of the iPod is a level of quality associated with the brand. By carefully choosing who can make stuff for the iPod, Apple has made a good deal of money off the accessory market, while consumer still have over 3,000 products to chose from.
I see the benefits and the problems with opening up the system. I don’t think it’s a slam dunk either way, and I don’t think Apple is being foolish by not including a SDK at this time.
hmmm.. MDN keyword “include”
This is news? This has been out for months, and the wrist/arm strap that goes with the sensor pouch is now out of stock (probably as they create a new version compatible with the new ipod nano).
great news for us NewBalance users. : )
You can buy it on Amazon for only $12.95. Just a mere three dollars over retail.
I think this is great – though I wish I’d thought of it my self. I like the Nike shoes, but I really wanted so New Balance shoes for running out doors. This solves the problem! -Good Job!
Uh-oh. Looks like Nike’s DRM has been cracked.

yeah i cant wear nike’s they are too skinny. for me they are a very uncomfortable shoe–especially the golf shoes. Adidas on the other hand is the best in my opinion. walking around in them is a dream–even brand new ones! Nike’s are made for people with skinny feet.
