Nike+ Heart Rate Monitor Due for Launch June 1st
Great news! I have a U.S. launch date for the Nike+ compatible heart rate monitor. It will officially launch on June 1, 2010, although it may reach some retail outlets slightly sooner. It will reach Canadian markets in June and will launch internationally in summer 2010, exact date to be determined.
I know you're going to ask, so I'll answer pre-emptively: no, I am not able to discuss price, color, device compatibility, and other details at this point. Stay tuned.
At the time, reports indicated that Nike had been planning to launch the heart rate monitor alongside the new iPod nano, but it is unclear at this time why the monitor experienced an approximately nine-month delay.

No joke. What about us legacy 1G iPod nano users! Mine still rocks for Nike+ running.

Heart rate monitors are useful, it's just too bad that Nike+ isn't.
This is good news though, for people who like Nike+ or people new to running, this will at least get them used to using a heart rate monitor in their exercise routine.

Nike+ needs GPS support or I will never use it when there are better apps like Runkeeper available.

I'll be interested to see how this works. I'm assuming a new chest strap that will communicate with the receiver/iPod?

Now if only we could get Google to monitor the data for us, you know... for our own good....

+1. I would still be on the fence if that happened though. I have the Garmin 305 (wristwatch) and it's quite nice to be able to do a quick check at your wrist as opposed to pulling out the ipod/iphone. I might consider it for the leisure runs though. At least a heartrate monitor is a step in the right direction.
