“Evidence of the device exists in the latest Nike+ iPod user guide, posted temporarily on Apple’s Web site. The 28-page document includes a section entitled ‘Linking a Nike + iPod Compatible Remote or Heart Rate Monitor,'” Hughes reports. “It states that only the fifth-generation ipod nano, announced Wednesday, is compatible.”
Hughes reports, “In addition, people familiar with the matter told AppleInsider that the accessory was initially expected to launch alongside the next-generation iPod nano, but it has been delayed for an unknown period of time.”
“The latest iPod nano has a built-in pedometer that will sync to the Nike+ software. Previously, the system required an external transmitter to track steps,” Hughes reports. “The system keeps track of milestones like running distance, as well as calories burned.”
