What is it? Nike Plus is an application for the iPod and now the iPhone which tracks running statistics by using a sensor which is placed inside your trainer and wirelessly sends information to your chosen device. The application uses graphs to display the information, a map which tracks your whereabouts via GPS and a music player to play songs whilst you run. Once you are done with your running session, you can connect the device via USB and upload your results online to compare with others.
My Comments Being able to upload and display results online means that you are encouraged to improve and be competitive with others.Results are automatically sent to your device so it is easy to keep track of your running progress. The application is very attractive and easy to use, large buttons and text mean that it is easy to read and select options whilst on the run.
Nike+ can be synced to your Twitter now too with Twiike
