Nike+ SportBand

One my my hobbies is running, in fact I am training to run in a marathon. I became addicted after graduating from University and receiving an iPod Nano and a Nike+ iPod Sport Kit. After receiving the Nike Air Max 180+ running shoes as a Christmas gift there was no excuse why I should not run. I love it now!

So, now you know that when I heard that Nike was introducing a sport band that recorded information, I was siked. Although a price has not been acknowledged, I do know that it will hit store shelves on April 10. The Nike+ SportBand records and lets you see distance, pace, time, calories burned all with a glance at your wrist. It can be connected via USB to upload your data to the NikePlus.Com website. It does not act as a a watch nor does it directly compete with the Nike Amp+ watch. I shall hope that one day they do combine both products to make it easier for us tech runners and bear us the embarrasment of explaining to folks why we have two time pieces on our wrist in order to run.
