Nike+ fitness range to get SportsBand
Record how hard you've worked without the need for an iPod

Nike has revealed the design of its latest gadget for the fitness freak.
The Nike+ SportsBand will be available to buy from April for approximately $95 or £45.
It allows runners to record their pace, distance run and calories burned in exactly the same way as the original Nike+, but without the need for an iPod nano.
Running data can then be uploaded after a run via a USB connection to a PC or Mac.
The SportsBand, like the Nike+ system, still requires communication with a Nike+ shoe sensor, so online reports suggest that a sensor will indeed be bundled with it.
What you miss out on is the tunes though which takes quite a lot of the fun (fun?) out of exercising, and so is a distinct advantage for the Apple/Nike system.
We've not got an exact release date as yet but will keep you posted.
