Control an iPod with your watch

Here's something for iPod-wielding athletes. The new Timex Ironman (approximate availability is later this month) will be able to control your iPod. With a 2.4 GHz range dongle connected to the iPod, the watch will let you play, pause, skip and jump to the next track, even with the iPod's hold button engaged.

The features you expect from an Ironman watch, like timers and so on, are still available. This looks like a cool alternative for athletes who want wireless interaction with their iPods other than the Nike+ kit. Check out the pictures our very own Engadget snapped whilst unboxing one.
