It’s been a long time coming, and finally Nike is getting around to shipping the Nike+ heart rate monitor that it announced back in September. Nine months after the device was mentioned on the Apple Store, it’s finally becoming a reality—just in time for WWDC announcements. Go Figure.
We’re not sure how the device is going to work, or just how expensive it may be, but I’d be willing to bet that we’ll get some news at WWDC. A heart rate monitor for iPods and iPhones is kind of a big deal.
