All Nikes running shoes to be Nike + iPod compatible by year end

The Nike + iPod sports kit has been a success. Many runners love the idea of their iPod not only pumping out the sweet jams as they run, but also helping to track their progress as well as keep them motivated. Sadly, the number of shoes that officially support the Nike + iPod is rather limited (the kit includes a small sensor that is inserted into the running shoe). Lucky, Nike has recently announced that they plan to offer support for the Nike + iPod sport kit in all their running shoes by the end of the year.

If only they would license the technology to other companies, then this would really take off (I'm a New Balance 992 man myself).
