Today, Apple and Nike have just announced the Nike+iPod Kit, a new product allowing Nike+ sport shoes to communicate with the iPod nano.
The product consists of a sensor placed in the Nike+ shoes and receiver that connects to the iPod nano. It allows a runner to track his run in real time, acting as a pedometer. The user can register on nikeplus.com so as to track his progress.
On Tuesday, CNBC mentioned rumours of an imminent partnership announcement between the two companies. Maceinstein, which had predicted an Apple/Nike product two weeks ago noticed that the domain tuneyourrun.com had recently been registered by Nike.
The Nike+iPod Kit costs $29 and requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or Windows XP (SP2) and iTunes 6.0.5 which has not been released yet.
UDPATE:WatchMacTV has posted what appears to be the Nike+iPod Kit's TV ad.
