I'm sure though you'd prefer a world where everything we buy has to be from Apple?

At first glance I thought there was a definative announcement that 3G was coming to the iPhone in the not too distant future.

Then I noticed the comma. It has served it's purpose well... fulfilling its punctuational destiny.....

It shall return to its homeland, proudly being able to tell its village elders that he succeeded in is task of punctuation, passed his trials, so that it may bond with another of its kind, and they shall, as is tradition, rise up together and form quotation marks.

Seriously guys. Sometimes I scare myself... I really do.]]>Apr 11th 2008 5:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/Apr 11th 2008 6:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/

Where the hell are the grammar Nazis when you need them!

Can someone clarify whether or not that poor ' needs to be spanked or not?

I think 'it's purpose' is correct isn't it, as its the purpose belonging to something.

# "its", the possessive adjective and possessive pronoun form of the personal pronoun it

# "it's", a contraction of "it is" or "it has"

Thus "It's purpose" means "It is purpose". "Its purpose" is the proper form.]]>Apr 11th 2008 6:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/
There's nothing it cannot achieve now.

I actually drew it out with pencil, took a photo of it with my phone camera and photoshopped it. I am most proud of it.

Oh and it's a yingying symbol not a fish... unless there's such a thing as a yingyang fish, then by all means sir, your initial comment was correct.

Umm. any ways, i think I should probably keep on topic here before the engadget editors castrate me for my randomness, so regarding this Nike + development:

I for one am pretty excited about it. I held off the purchase from the first series of Nike + and apple stuff because I knew it was only a matter of time before they improved it. (same reason I bought an N95 and held off the iphone until the revised version with 3G and a hopefully better excuse for a camera).

I've personally started a diet and exercise regime since January and stuff like this would definately be a motivating factor for me to track my progress.

I'm also a huge fan of device integration, so you can imagine my joy when my ipod, phone and trainers are all interlinked!

People always say "needs more functionality" when referring to the iPhone, but what is the reason for having more functionality if it doesn't work well in the first place?]]>Apr 11th 2008 7:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/Apr 11th 2008 6:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/Apr 11th 2008 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/Apr 11th 2008 6:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/
I have to admit now, the iPhone is frickin' sweet.

And they have to be reliable first about their sensors, because althought I am in limited warranty, the Nike representatives play the martians and do not replace the sensor...
Only 128 kms run so far and the sensor died ! ! !
Who needs them when there is Garmin with Foretrex that has GPS tracking above all?

Not trying to be a hater, I'm just saying that the iPhone hasn't secured itself as a workout-friendly device yet b/c of its size. ]]>Apr 11th 2008 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/
They may be positioning this differently though... since both the phone and Touch are 'visual based' unlike the shuffle which would be the other end of the spectrum where you could use it blindly, the intent here is probably more geared towards something you'd have propped up on the treadmill stand and looking at all the time instead of running out in the wilds.

will be interesting no doubt!]]>Apr 11th 2008 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/
I would certainly like to have a 3rd Gen Nano, but don't want to have to pay more since I have an iPhone already. I'm excited, I definitely would be interested in picking this up.]]>Apr 11th 2008 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/Apr 11th 2008 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/
I know that there are some good cycle computers that can do this, but using the Iphone (or in my case the touch) would be so nice....

Oh well...

Nike will just make a native iPhone app with the SDK. It will be more responsive than that bogged down flash site. :)

I'm sure with the iPhones's hardware accelerated OpenGL and app like that would rock.]]>Apr 11th 2008 11:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/
@ezra, if you knew what you were talking about you'd be dangerous. (I recommend trying the Edge 305 HR+ if you have the means.)

I emailed Nike after buying and loving (if you haven't seen what the Nike+ site has to offer, check it out) the N+SK at its launch. I asked for a cycling-related Nike+ SK. Nothing so far.

I use the N+SK running and the Edge 305HR+ on my CR1. Nike's $30 experience wins over the Edge's $300 experience HANDS DOWN. If Nike got this rolling, they'd simply KILL this niche.]]>Apr 11th 2008 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/

As for running with the iPhone I do it and it's not such a big deal. I use to run with a big ass walkman back in the day so the iPhone is nothing. I do know that it sometimes has a habit of rebooting to the friend glowing silver Apple icon on a few random runs in the past. don't know if the iPhone is really suited for running.

I'll just pick up the Nike+ Sportsband and run with that. For the person who wants an Nike+ system for biking for the iPhone or other products I doubt that will ever happen as riding is some areas with any earphone music device is illegal.

Makes this whole thing sound untrue and unreal.

If anything at all I think they could bypass plugging in the iPhone to send the data to the Nike+ "coach" site. The RF link will still be needed unless the iPhone can somehow use GPS navigation to track how far you run and at what speed which would make using the device on a treadmill useless]]>Apr 11th 2008 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/Apr 11th 2008 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/]]>Apr 11th 2008 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/Apr 11th 2008 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/11/nike-going-wifi-and-3g-headed-to-iphone/
Unfortunately, it suffers from the same design flaw as every Apple portable device. NON-REPLACEABLE batteries. I seriously wish people would stop doing this. It's not just bad for the environment, it's cynical planned obsolescence.

As for Bluetooth, I don't think that would cut it. The connection with these things is iffy enough. Wi-Fi is the better option.
