Yeah, but how does it communicate with the bluethoothless, wifi-less iPod?
cool idea!!
bad design!!!!
light blue for men???
not really!!!
comes in colors, black too
Pretty cool idea, but I wouldn’t want to lose my Nike+iPod functionality for it…
does it come in Zune brown?
If only Nike+Timex+Apple would have come up with just one dataport plugin for the iPod that would accept data from the Nike transmitter and commands from the Timex watch. THAT would be the cool tool!
@ torchwood – are you liv’n in the past?
What’s wrong with powder blue for men, for gods sake!!!
Try to keep up with society dude, or you might be taken for a Neanderthal.
If you think light blue looks good on a man, then you’re a pussy.
How many Nike+ kits have been sold..?
They really need this to work with the Nike+ transmitter for it to really catch on
torchwood,
What part of…
It is offered in combinations of gray and black, as well as pink, blue, orange and green.
…didn’t you understand?
I swear to God, mankind’s thwarting of natural selection will be the undoing of us all.
Some people may think Idicracy is a comedy, but it’s really a prescient warning of the coming calamity.
have any of you ever seen the color of the infantry branch of the u.s. army?
No, it does not allow control of the iPhone. It controls iPods
including the iPod portion of the iPhone Remembe, no one controls YOUR iPhone except Apple
Real men wear Dodger blue, or pink, or any other color they choose because they’re REAL MEN.
The rest of you, torchwood, Oops, et al, simply play the roles you’ve been given.
I agree with torchwood… Powder blue is GAY!
…and so are the Dodgers
The Dodgers really do bite, but don’t insult gay people like that.
I wish all these faggots would quit sucking my dick!
weird. So you are admitting that you are letting more than do tjis to you? Clearly you are enjoying it but feeling guilty. Glad i’m not you.
I am thinking powder blue is your thing. You must be one of those polititions whom lobbys against gays, married with children. Yet smoken dope and sleezing for male prostitutes. But denying it to the public. Yeah, powder blue for u budy.
question, you’re so gay
…I know I am, and so are the Dodgers
A real man doesn’t care if it’s blue, pink or chartreuse. A real man is so hairy you can’t see the watch anyway.
Too many narrow minded idiots here to bother making a comment. Next…
“Try to keep up with society dude, or you might be taken for a Neanderthal.”
Lay off, join the modern world, gays need watches too.
