If you’re an avid runner, then the Nike+iPod system certainly caught your attention and you may even be a user. Well, what if you could take the iPod out of the picture? Nothing officially has been announced yet, but a visitor to the Nike Store Europe website snapped a screenshot of a new Nike product called Nike Speed+, just before it was removed form the site. Luckily, our sister site Gadgetell picked up on the news.
The wrist-watch can will be able to wirelessly receive distance, pace, and other data from the same old Nike+ sensor that came with your Nike+iPod kit - minus the iPod part, of course. The device will also give users the option to upload the data it captures to nikeplus.com probably for charts and graphs of your pace and such. It is unknown if there will be an accessory for receiving audio updates.
No further details were released about the Nike Speed+, but I’m sure we’ll be seeing it arrive back on the Nike Store in no time.
