Nike and Apple are to launch a remote control wrist device to complement its Nike+ range, Engadget reports:
[It] features music controls and LED-illuminated info readout to track your run. It supposedly syncs up with the mother-Pod via Bluetooth — though we’d be surprised if they’re changing out the current dongle that powers the Nike + iPod setup, so perhaps this is interoperable with that non-standard frequency.
Bluetooth? But iPods don’t have Bluetooth….

New iPod shuffle is easier to wear than a network over your body! A remote on me, that links two devices on me?

The iPod wouldn’t need bluetooth. The Nike+iPod Sport Kit comes with a receiver dongle that plugs into the dock connector of the nano. Presumably, the Amp+ would communicate with the iPod through this receiver.
