Nike vs. iPhone vs. Apple - Gym equipment coming in July ?

Will Nike+ be available for the iPhone 3G? That’s what Thomas Ricker is speculating over on Engadget. A press release from US gym giant 24 Hour Fitness says that:

"Nike and Apple worked with major gym equipment manufacturers to make their cardio equipment Nike + iPod compatible so gym members can easily track and record workouts on cardio equipment like treadmills, stair steppers, elliptical trainers and stationary bikes."

Hmmm, is that enough evidence, though? What else points to Thomas’ theory?

Well, for Apple fans, July means IPhone Mark II, as well as the launch of the App Store. Add to that the image (see above) used on the patent application. And lastly, Nike has already stated that Nike+ will be heading to an iPhone near you soon.

But just how soon is soon, that’s what we want to know.

New MAC-exclusive Quickcam from Logitech

new logitech cam for mac\'s only

It initially seems odd that Logitech would launch a Mac-only webcam: All Macs but the Mini and Pro have a built in iSight camera.

Reading the specs gives the answer — the QuickCam Vision Pro is a significant step up in performance from the built-in option.

The two megapixel Quickcam can supply 720p video via an autofocus Carl Zeiss lens, and has a built in microphone.

The camera will cost $130.00 USD and – floating eerily as it does in the product shot – the Quickcam reminds me of nothing other than the Empire’s Imperial Probe Droid.
