Staying fit by jogging or running is a part of many peoples lives these days. Many runners are also music lovers and love to take their tunes along with them on their runs. For the last few years, the iPod nano has been a great way for runners to bring their music along with them on their daily run and every day there seems to be more and more runners joining the trend. Well, we’ve got some great news for you runners out there.

Now with the new Nike+ iPod Sport kit your iPod nano does more than play great tunes during your workout. The Sport Kit allows your Nike+ Ready shoe to talk to your iPod nano. The sensor uses a sensitive accelerometer to measure your activity, then wirelessly transfers this data to the receiver on your iPod nano. Simply slip the Nike+ sensor into any Nike+ Ready shoe, and it gives feedback on your speed, distance, pace and calories burned—right through your iPod headphones. Then, iTunes automatically uploads your workouts to nikeplus.com, so you can track your progress, challenge friends and more.

We have to admit, this is an incredible advancement into how runners can track their progress in order to continually challenge themselves while on their run. No true blue runner should be without this wonderful tracking system. However, runners should also know that while Nike intended for their Nike+ sensor only to be used with Nike+ Ready shoes, there have been a few third party additions to the marketplace, including the iPod Sensor Shoe pouch which attaches to the top of any shoe by threading the laces through loops in the back. Nike+ Arm Bands are also available. Both products eliminate the need to buy the special Nike+ ready shoes.

So, if you’re a runner, or you know a runner that you need to get a gift for, pick up a Nike+ iPod Sport kit and then hit the trails. You’ll be glad you did.

The Apple iPhone was introduced into the world, at least to the US, on June 29th 2007. Thousands of people clamored to be the first to get their hands on an iPhone and from most accounts, they are very proud of their new acquisitions. Though Apple provided the basic accessories required to use the iPhone, like most special things, it came into the world naked. So after investing $500 to $600 on an iPhone it only makes prudent sense to invest a few extra dollars in an iPhone case to protect it.

Initial product stress tests of the Apple iPhone have been quite impressive. Apple wisely switched to optical grade glass for the innovative touch screen of the iPhone and it is almost impossible to scratch it. Even with a key. This, however, doesn’t mean it should be left unprotected and the rest of the iPhone is still prone to dings and scratches.

The solution to protecting your new iPhone is actually quite simple, though all the talk about skins, cases, wallets, and screen protectors can be a little bewildering. Don’t worry, below are the options available for protecting your iPhone and the good news is that they typically cost much less than your monthly bill with AT&T.

Types of iPhone Cases:

*iPhone Skins — a skin is just a cover that completely wraps around your iPhone with cutouts to allow you access to the touch screen, main navigation button, as well as the side buttons, charger, and camera. iPhone skins are made from silicone, which is a flexible, yet rugged type of plastic. The benefit of a skin, is that it will protect the surfaces of your iPhone from nicks and scratches and even offer some protection if dropped. However, don’t rely on a silicone skin to offer you complete protection against drops.

IPhone skins come in clear silicone as well as several popular colors ranging from feminine pink to stealth black. Some iPhone skins also come with a screen protector and neck strap, but be sure to check the product details to make certain.

*iPhone Cases and Wallets — a step up in style and convenience is an iPhone case or wallet. Many of these cases also include a belt clip so you can keep your iPhone at the ready. Unlike cell phone holsters, a case or wallet fully protects your iPhone when not in use. Cases and wallets typically come in both leather and canvas varieties and in a wide range of styles. Chose the type that best suits your usage and expresses your personal style. You may even want several cases to match different clothing and occasions!

*iPhone Screen Protectors — an iPhone screen protector typically is a piece of very thin silicone with an adhesive backing that covers the entire front of the iPhone. Like a skin, it also has a circular cutout to expose the main navigation button at the bottom of the iPhone. A skin can then be placed over the screen protector. Not all iPhone screen protectors are created equal though. The better ones have dust resistant and anti-glare properties. Many iPhone skins and cases already come with a screen protector so you typically don’t need to purchase one separately.

An Apple iPhone is a truly innovative technology product that is a joy to own. Their owners have every right to be proud and can be forgiven, at least for now, for showing them off every chance they get. And you can tell a truly proud and worthy Apple iPhone owner by how they have chosen to dress up and protect their “baby”.

Halo 3 is an upcoming first-person shooter by Bungie Studios for the Xbox 360. It has been stated that Halo 3 will end the current story arc of the Halo trilogy. The final version of the game is due to be released on September 25, 2007 in the United States, Brazil, Canada, Australia, India, and Singapore; September 26, 2007 in Europe; and September 27, 2007 in Japan.

That means… most of us have only four days.

The Master Chief again returns as the main protagonist, with the Arbiter making several major appearances. When the game begins, Master Chief is back on Earth, where the Covenant loyalists (Brutes, Drones, and Jackals), led by the Prophet of Truth, have laid waste to most of the planet. Covenant ships are hovering over an excavation site a few miles from the ruins of New Mombasa and have uncovered a large artifact in this site, and Cortana is still the prisoner of Gravemind. The Arbiter, along with the Elites, Hunters, and some of the Grunts have split from the Covenant during the civil war at the end of Halo 2 and formed an alliance with the UNSC.

The game will not begin right where Halo 2 left off. Instead, the comic mini-series, Halo: Uprising, will bridge the story gap between the ending of Halo 2, and the beginning of Halo 3.

There will be three different versions of Halo 3 for retail sale: the Standard Edition, which contains the game disc and a manual; the Collector’s Edition, contained in a metal case, which contains the game disc, manual, interactive Xbox 360 bonus disc with several featurettes, and Beastiarum, which is a “hard cover, bound collection of information and art covering the species, cultures and civilizations of Halo 3.” according to Bungie; and the Legendary Edition, which contains the game disc, manual, interactive bonus disc, Beastiarum, Legendary DVD containing special content exclusive to the Legendary Edition, and a scale replica of the Master Chief’s Helmet as a case for the three discs.

At release, in addition to the various versions of the game, there will also be numerous Halo 3 branded accessories, including a green and orange Xbox 360 Premium console (with matching control pad) and Wireless headset (available separatly). Also available are two wireless control pads printed with either Spartan or Covenant characters. Prior to release, shops have been selling a Halo 3 branded Xbox Live 12 month subscription with 1 month free, to promote the online presence of the game which was a major selling point of Halo 2.

You can find out more in-depth information about the game at Wikipedia.

The Nintendo Wii it seems, puts pay to the concerns in recent years over the inactivity in children due to their interest in video games consoles. The Wii console really sets itself apart from the rest with its revolutionary motion sensitive controller, which actually requires movement in order to play the games.

The Nintendo Wii comes with the game Wii Sports, which includes tennis, baseball, bowling, golf and boxing. In tennis you will be swinging the remote as if it were a tennis racket and flicking it up to toss the ball into the air with a quick swing to serve. The other Wii Sports games work in a similar way simulating controller movements for like movements onscreen. Boxing however is the only Wii Sports game that uses the nunchuk attachment and is the most physically exhausting game of them all. In order to hit your opponent in the head or body, you will have to aim high or low with your swings.

There are three different activities with each game. In training mode, you will participate in random challenges, after which you will be assigned a fitness age, based on your performance. Sound familiar? The Nintendo DS game, Brain Training comes to mind…a physical version perhaps?

The important thing here is that gamers are becoming more physically active without even realising it - you could say it has a ‘kill two birds with one stone’ effect, combining video game play with physical activity. Given this ‘physical’ nature of the Wii, I wouldn’t be suprised if parents rushed out to buy the Nintendo Wii just to get their kids off the sofa!

Another great thing about the Nintendo Wii is that it appeals not only to children and teens but to adults too, so its something the whole family can enjoy.

Could the Nintendo Wii revolutionize the way we play video games in the future? It will be interesting to see what Nintendo’s competitors come up with next - this could be a tough one to beat!
