Nike Inc. said it is making running shoes that will tell the wearer how far and how fast he or she has run and how many calories they have burned. The instant information will come from a miniature iPod and a new wireless system called Nike+iPod.
Using a Nike+iPod Sports Kit, miniature versions of the iPod will be able to give audio data on time, distance, pace and calories burned on-demand through an attachable receiver that gets data from a sensor in the insole of special Nike shoes.

Japanese web and telecom conglomerate Softbank Corp is working with Apple Computer Inc to develop cellphones with built-in iPod music players, Nikkei reported.
The music-playing phones can download songs from Apple's iTunes Music Store, The Nihon Keizai Shimbun said. A spokesperson for Apple in Cupertino, California, was not immediately available for comment. The report said Apple and Softbank have agreed to co-develop the phone for sale as early as this year.
MacworldApple has sued digital music player rival Creative Technology, accusing the company of infringing on four of its patents. The lawsuit, filed in a Wisconsin District Court, was apparently launched on May 15, the same day Creative sued Apple for patent infringement.
vnunet.comCreative Technology, the number two in the music player market, has asked the US International Trade Commission (ITC) to investigate claims that Apple's iPod infringes one of its patents. The dispute is over Creative's Zen patent, awarded in August 2005, which covers navigation by menus and organisation of music on a portable music player.
MacworldAn Apple-branded phone is not only a smart decision for the company, industry analysts say, but it’s also a necessary move to push another Apple handheld device, the iPod, into the future.
And though the first so-called iPhones would be a year away — if they even exist at all — analysts believe a device directly from Apple stands a much better chance at success than the iTunes-sporting Motorola phones that came before it.
Daring FireballI’m never quite sure what to make of Rob Glaser, CEO of Real Networks. As his company’s digital media technologies fall further behind Apple’s and Microsoft’s (at least in terms of popularity), he frequently pipes up in the press with ridiculous statements about Apple and its products — statements so patently false that I’m always left with the impression that he’s either a moron or a liar. (My money is on liar.)
creativecommons.orgThe purpose of this Guide is to provide you with a general roadmap of some of the legal issues specific to podcasting...
When creating your own podcast, it is important to make sure all necessary rights and permissions are secured for the material included in your podcasts. This is relatively easy if you create all of the material that is included in your podcast but can become progressively more complex the more you include material created by other people. If you do not obtain the necessary rights and permissions, you may get into legal trouble for incorporating third party material into your podcast and for also authorizing others to use that material as part of your podcast.
