Nike Speed+ iPod Watch
The Ultimate iAccessory?
According to iLounge, Nike is going to be release two or three hybrid watch and remote control accessories for Nike + iPOd kit-equipped iPod nanos. As we have mentioned before, Nike has been very vocal about their plans to increase Nike and iPod integration.
Set to be released this month, the Nike Flight+ ($129) is a wireless iPod remote control with a complete digital wristwatch as its body. Flight+’s music controls, such as volume and track adjustment, are built into a rocking bezel around its central Electroluminescent (EL) backlit watch screen. Available in two colors, this watch will feature standard time, date, and chronometer features, including alarms, plus the ability to trigger the Nike + iPod Sport Kit’s voice feedback feature.
The Nike Amp+ is a bracelet-styled remote control with a stripped-down subset of Flight+’s features. Amp+ includes its own integrated LED display with the ability to display either time or iPod control status, an iPod shuffle-styled control pad to let users change tracks, adjust volume, and play/pause songs on the iPod, and special Sport Controls to call up the Sport Kit’s special voice feedback and PowerSong features.
No word yet on the exact release date this month, although earlier reports suggested these were set to hit shelves on May 1st, we can’t seem to find them anywhere. Stay tuned…
