It appears iPods are capable of more than running out of battery life way before you expected. Billed as “the ultimate synthesis of sport and music” (Lord knows it wasn’t Bronson Arroyo’s album), Apple is pushing Nike+ running shoes that fit an iPod Nano sensor in them. The sensor them beams to the Nano such running data as miles logged, pace and time ran — while it plays music, of course. The technology also allows runners to sync workout data to both iTunes and nikeplus.com to monitor progress.
