Andrew I never even thought that the music could conflict with my breathing. I'll try a silent run tonight, but listening to music helps me pass the time. ]]>Apr 2nd 2008 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/nike-sportband-coach-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/nike-sportband-coach-gets-official/Apr 2nd 2008 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/nike-sportband-coach-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/nike-sportband-coach-gets-official/Apr 2nd 2008 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/nike-sportband-coach-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/nike-sportband-coach-gets-official/Apr 2nd 2008 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/nike-sportband-coach-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/nike-sportband-coach-gets-official/Apr 2nd 2008 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/nike-sportband-coach-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/nike-sportband-coach-gets-official/
Anyway... the comment I really wanted to make is that I've been hanging around chicas way too much cause when I read 'coach', I thought it meant the Coach brand... as in over priced purses owned by Sara Lee. LMAO. Now excuse me while I go check to see if my testicles are still there...]]>Apr 2nd 2008 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/nike-sportband-coach-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/nike-sportband-coach-gets-official/
I also need to revoke your male driver's license and ability to watch sports.

podcasts are getting very popular and I like to mix it up

And, by the way, having a nano reinforces how much better the Zune is. Scrolling? How is moving your thumb in circles a better interface than up, down, left, right? ]]>Apr 2nd 2008 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/nike-sportband-coach-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/nike-sportband-coach-gets-official/Apr 2nd 2008 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/nike-sportband-coach-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/nike-sportband-coach-gets-official/Apr 2nd 2008 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/nike-sportband-coach-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/nike-sportband-coach-gets-official/Nike is probably trying to sever it's ties with apple and not have to pay apple anymore royalties due to their initial joint effort. ]]>Apr 2nd 2008 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/nike-sportband-coach-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/nike-sportband-coach-gets-official/
As for the accuracy in general...2 anectdotes:

My wife runs with a woman who has a wrist GPS unit and their distance tends to be right on...maybe a tenth or 2 different over 10 miles. When they recently ran a 10K sanctioned race together, the GPS was off by a few tenths and the Nike + my wife was wearing was off by a few steps at the finish line.

I sometimes ride my bike with my wife running with her Nike + and that is how we initially calibrated...against my bike computer calibrated for my tire circumference. Since then, her distance has matched my distance +/- maybe 10 meters or so over a 5mile run.

I'm no huge Nike fan...but I appreciate how accurate and handy this device is. My wife loves the motivating factor on the nikeplus.com website. ]]>Apr 10th 2008 8:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/nike-sportband-coach-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/nike-sportband-coach-gets-official/Apr 28th 2008 11:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/nike-sportband-coach-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/02/nike-sportband-coach-gets-official/

On warning. Nike suggests you wear it with display inside wrist to easier read when running (I agree) but if you continue to wear it after running be careful as that puts screen against surfaces when writing or typing, etc... scratched the hell out of my screen already. (Should only use for running) ]]>Jun 3rd 2008 12:15PM
