I've extolled the virtues of the Nike+iPod a number of times in my blog. It's a great piece of technology that enhances the way you can use your iPod Nano, and improve your training at the same time. Well, it seems Nike has more plans for the iPod. According to this article over at Engadget there is a new device coming soon called the Nike Amp+. This very cool product is a wrist band that allows you to wirelessly control your iPod, via Bluetooth, so you can start and stop your playlists, skip songs, and possibly even adjust the volume without taking the Nano out of it's case. But wait! It gets even better. The Amp+ also has a built in LCD screen which will allow you to get information about your run, such as time, distance, and speed. I'm guessing it also doubles as a sports watch, but seeing as the product hasn't been officially announced yet, we'll have to wait to see what else it can do. It is rumored to cost around $80, and you can bet I'll be picking one up once they are released.
