Train with the MP3RUN

Sometimes, it’s a smart move to incorporate new features into existing consumer gadgets to suit consumers with special needs, like athletes.
Philips and Nike have introduced the MP3RUN, a digital audio player with the innovative speed & distance monitoring. This unique combination provides runners with music playback as well as on-demand audible feedback on their sport performance such as distance covered, running speed and elapsed time.
Worn on the arm, the MP3RUN features a speed and distance sensor (via Bluetooth technology) which when attached to the shoe, records time, distance and pace. This is automatically logged onto a website operated by Nike to track progress. An audible voice will state time, distance and pace through headphones with the press of a button. The MP3RUN can play MP3s in addition to the digital FM radio. And for those who like night running, the device boasts a strobe light for low light conditions.
