iTunes 6.0.5 available, adds Nike content

By Dave Caolo

Apple has released iTunes 6.0.5 via Software Update which, according to Apple...

"...allows you to sync your Nike + iPod workout data to nikeplus.com, where you can easily track your progress, set training goals, challenge others, and much more. Visit the Nike Sport Music area on the iTunes Music Store to download workout mixes, Athlete Inspiration playlists, Nike podcasts, and more.

Note: After purchasing music from the iTunes Music Store with iTunes 6 or later, you also need to upgrade your other computers that purchase music from the iTunes Music Store to the latest version of iTunes."

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

Update: Ok, so this is weird. I just launched iTunes 6.0.5 for the first time following installation, and I can't find a darn thing that's new. What am I missing..?

Update II: According to nikeplus.com, the online features will be available "July 14th." So, now I'm thinking that, while iTunes 6.0.5 will contain all the Nike content, it won't until Nike releases it on the 14th. But I could be wrong.

Update III: Eagle-eyed reader Sun Chiu noticed that two Nike+ topics have been added to iTunes' help section, specifically, "Viewing and saving your Nike+ workout data" and "Using multiple Nike+ sensors and shoes."
