Nike+iPod is a product developed by Nike, Inc. in collaboration with Apple Inc. that allows users to track their running and workout statistics through a combination of a sensor and a receiver. The system was first introduced in 2006 and has since evolved to integrate with various Apple devices.

Overview

The Nike+iPod system consists of a small sensor that fits into a specially designed pocket in the sole of a Nike+ shoe and a receiver that connects to an iPod or iPhone. The sensor tracks the user's activity, including distance, pace, and calories burned, and transmits this data to the receiver. The data can then be synced with the Nike+ website or the Nike+ app for detailed analysis and tracking.

Components

Sensor

The sensor is a small, lightweight device that fits into a pocket in the sole of compatible Nike+ shoes. It uses an accelerometer to measure the user's movement and calculate running metrics.

Receiver

The receiver is a device that connects to an iPod or iPhone, allowing it to receive data from the sensor. In later versions, the receiver was integrated into the iPhone and iPod Touch, eliminating the need for a separate device.

Nike+ App

The Nike+ app is available for download on the App Store and allows users to track their workouts, set goals, and share their progress with friends. The app also provides audio feedback during workouts, such as distance covered and pace.

History

The Nike+iPod system was first introduced in May 2006. It was initially compatible with the iPod Nano and required a separate receiver to be connected to the iPod. Over time, the system was updated to work with the iPhone and iPod Touch, which have built-in support for the sensor.

Compatibility

The Nike+iPod system is compatible with various models of the iPod and iPhone. Initially, it required a separate receiver for the iPod Nano, but later versions integrated the receiver into the iPhone and iPod Touch. The system is also compatible with a range of Nike+ shoes, which have a special pocket in the sole for the sensor.

Usage

To use the Nike+iPod system, users need to insert the sensor into the pocket of a compatible Nike+ shoe and connect the receiver to their iPod or iPhone. The device will then track the user's activity and provide real-time feedback during workouts. After the workout, users can sync their data with the Nike+ website or app to analyze their performance and track their progress over time.
