Advantages: Value for Money, Easy to Use, Good Motivation Disadvantages: Proper Trainers Are Expensive
Following a knee injury I decided it would be better to have pair of running trainers instead of normal everday trainers for going out jogging. I heard about this Nike+ iPodSport Kit and bought it along with Nike+ trainers to go along with it.
~~~What is it?~~~
The Apple Nike+ iPodSport Kit comes with a small sensor which fits under the sole of your left Nike+ running shoe, or if you don't have Nike+ trainers then you can buy a pouch which can be tied to your laces, that the sensor is placed in.

The Touch is the very first iPod to provide its users with wireless access to the World Wide Web. Apple's web browser of choice here is Safari which, like the YouTube player and Wi-Fi, is built-in.
