Nike adds Amp+ remote

Nike is adding the Amp+ to its Nike+ iPod line, a Bluetooth remote bracelet that allows users to control playback without touching an iPod while displaying relevant information -- such as running statistics -- from the player in real-time. Data is projected through an LED readout tucked beneath the black matte surface of the bracelet, according to Men's Health. The Nike+ line features shoes designed to work with special hardware and software for the iPod Nano, keeping track of runs while providing audio feedback. The new remote bracelet is designed to keep the iPod nano away from sweat, which is a notable issue with many runners using the new system, according to Electronista. The Amp+ is slated for shipment some time in 2007 for $80.

Or whenever the iPods have Bluetooth? :)

The transceiver that plugs into the iPod Nano communicates with the Nike+ component in the shoe via Bluetooth.

The Nike+ kit uses 2.4Ghz, but it's not Bluetooth, nor is it WiFi. It's a subset of one of them - I forget which, but it's not BT ot WiFi.
