Screenshots for Upcoming Nike+ App for iPhone and iPod Touch? [Fake?]

Tuesday August 19, 2008 10:54 am PDT by Arnold Kim

iPhon.fr posts (via Gizmodo) screenshots of what claim to be the upcoming Nike+ running application for iPhone. Nike+ is a running accessory for the iPod Nano that allows you to track your running.

With a sensor in your shoe and a receiver on your iPod nano, your run takes on a whole new dimension. See the minutes tick by. Watch the miles unfold. Hear real-time feedback. All to your favorite music including the one song that always gets you through the home stretch.

A new version for the iPhone and iPod touch had been previously reported but no announcements have been made since. The iPhone's always-on internet connection is expected to allow you to update your training log on the fly. The screenshots also reveal that mapping is included.

A few other running apps such as RunKeeper have been featured on our iPhone Blog (rss) which is tracking some of the latest iPhone app developments.

Nike+ has generated a significant following with a group of our forum members organizing MacRumors Nike+ challenges.
Update: AppleInsider believes these to be fake.

seems quite cool.. but adding a HRM (heart rate monitor) would also be beneficial ;)

i may actually take running more seriously

Interesting...so it won't ditch the shoe sensor for GPS? I guess the GPS isn't accurate enough.

i can honestly say that the nike+ program completely turned running on for me. before it, there was little motivation to challenge myself as i never saw results, but after having used it since January of 07, I've seen a shift in lifestyle priorities, and it helped me in finishing my first ironman last weekend. i recommend it to anyone, and the iphone app will further my interest in the program.

I hope Nike comes out with a kick as arm band too.

I have tried a couple and just don't trust those others.

I REALLY liked the armband for the nano that they made.

I refuse to purchase products from a company that once published this ad in a hiking magazine:


"Fortunately, the Air Dri-Goat features a patented, goat-like out sole for increased traction, so you can taunt mortal injury without actually experiencing it. Right about now you're probably asking yourself, "How can a trail running shoe with an outer sole designed like a goat's hoof help me avoid compressing my spinal cord into a Slinky on the side of some unsuspecting conifer, thereby rendering me a a drooling, misshapen, non-extreme-trail-running husk of my former self, forced to roam the Earth in a motorized wheelchair with my name, embossed on one of those cute little license plates you get at carnivals or state fairs, fastened to the back?"
To that we answer, hey, have you ever seen a mountain goat (even an extreme mountain goat) careen out of control into the side of a tree?
Didn't think so."


Nike lost my business in 2000.
