NoFakie 45 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Three years behind the curve here, but I just got one of those Nike running sensors for our Ipod Touch. It's a good system, but you can't view the Nike Plus website from your Ipod. It's done with Flash. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 running? what is that? There's an app to do that for you I'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Quote: Microsoft is set to release a series of Windows-based, tablet-style computers this year as it seeks to see off the challenge posed by Apple’s iPad. Steve Ballmer, Microsoft’s chief executive, told delegates at the company’s annual worldwide partner conference that they would find the range of devices “quite impressiveâ€. So, not "very impressive" then. Link to post Share on other sites

I saw it in the shop, it doesn't say on the box, and I have never heard of google. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 it must be an app for the Touch. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 GG Its a sensor that you put in your shoe which logs distance and speed when you go walking and running. It keeps a record of when you run and how far/fast. Its good for unmotivated #$%# like me who can 't be bothered to write things down with a pencil, but still need things to be recorded to stay motivated enough to get out the door. If you've got an Ipod already, its only 2000 yen provided you don't bother with the Nike shoes with a built in pocket for the sensor. They've just brought out a heart rate monitor for it too, but it only works with one kind of IPod. Its a bit crap really. If you had the GPS in an Iphone, you wouldn't need a sensor in your shoe and could use a different app, but we get bad Softbank reception in our house. Anyway, my point was that its a bit crap for Apple to not support Flash when their official partners (here Nike) make heavy use of it on an Ipod specific website. You can get all kinds of sports watches to do the same thing perhaps with more accuracy, but many are as expensive as an Ipod and cannot play music, without which running can be pretty bloody boring. No games or surfing on the sofa either. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Oh and the system is called "Nike Plus" or "Nike + IPod". Again, with an Iphone other running apps do the same thing without the sensor. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 those apps on the iphone are really making a lot of "accessories" redundant. What a monster the appstore has become. It'll run for president next. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I thought the iPad was a bit heavy in the shop, so tilting games might be better on the phone/Touch. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 But seriously - spring 2011 for ipad 2 would be likely, no? thurs might have managed to get his ipad 1 by then Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Saw an app that showed the star position depending on where you are and what declination you hold it at, on the 'pad las week. Looks interesting (but that makes it a supremely expensive planetarium). Link to post Share on other sites
snowbender 3 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 But that "planetarium" can also do thousands of other fun/useful things, can't it. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 planetariums are mega expensive. The pad is a very cheap way of planetarying. Link to post Share on other sites
