Nike, Apple in suit over iPod sport kit

Hey, it's Monday! Let's sue Apple!

PhatRat Technology is the latest company to bring a suit against Apple, claiming that the Nike+ Sport Kit uses their technology (in part). PhatRat makes wireless performance products for athletes, including the AirRat, which lets snowboarders, BMX riders, etc., record airtime via devices in their shoes. It's this data collection and transmission via footwear that has PhatRat up in arms.

We have no information on the case, of course, but it does seem like suing Apple is the fashionable thing to do lately. We'll see how this plays out.
