I don't understand- in order to have the Nike+ chip in your shoe, you have to purchase the Nike+ iPod kit with the iPod module. So is Nike going to sell the shoe chip separately now or something? This doesn't make sense. Plus, who wants to wear that thing and then have a separate music player or radio?
I have Nike+ Amp and I love it! I run 40 to 50 miles a week and I am a music freak. Once you get the sport kit calibrated properly it is pretty accurate and the Amp is so handy get pace info, changing songs, pausing workouts, ect. Granted I wish it was all integrated into a timex style watch, I still give it a thumbs up!
No it's just that there might be a licensing issue selling the chip by itself, in a separate package without any apple logo. It was a joint deal. That makes me not believe this story.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.

So they'll sell it seperate or with this thing? What's to understand, is there a law on the books saying they can't?
