The I.T. Life

Nike has stepped it up a notch with there new SportWatch; they have taken there very popular show based sensor (heck, my dad has one) and paired it with GPS technology by TomTom. The GPS will track your trip and the the Nike+ sensor will track the pace, distance, heart rate, etc and post them to NikePlus.com It is a pretty cool product for the runners out there… Thought it isn’t cool enough for me to want to start running.

I’m going to type up a full summary tonight when I get home, but for now here is the summary that matters to me.

• Yes, the new iPod is what we though, but so much better, accelorometer, and more
• Yes, they lowered prices, we knew that one too
• Yes, iTunes 8, and yes, it has the smart playlist stuff
• No, there were no really “big suprises”
• Nike+ is part of the touch now, will be in the next update
• iPhone 2.1 will be out friday, and “should” all the bugs and more… haxors get ready!
• Yes, iTunes will now sell HD TV… but its for $2.99 a episode!
• Yes, Steve Jobs is still alive
