As noted on our sister site AppShopper recently, Nike has released a new Nike+ GPS application into the App Store, offering iPhone users new tools for tracking their running performance.
While the Nike+ system built into the iPhone and other devices has required that users purchase a separate sensor to be attached to the user’s shoe for tracking, the new application takes advantage of the GPS capability and accelerometer built into the iPhone to provide map-based tracking, as well as pace, and distance traveled. The app also supports challenges, voice feedback, and ‘PowerSong’ integration to help runners push themselves even further.
Nike+ GPS, which is priced at $1.99, is compatible with the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4, as well as the second-, third-, and fourth-generation iPod touch, although without the mapping capabilities that require GPS functionality.
An awesome app for fitness freaks , somewhat like what we have already seen in the app store but ofcourse its Nike’s official app so who knows next time you buy a new pair of shoes and you get some discounts or get shoes embedded with sensors which can directly pair up with your iPhone to let you know , how far did you walk in the whole day . Sounds great !
