Nike unveils iPod-less Nike+ SportBand

Nike recently unveiled the Nike+ SportBand, confirming earlier reports that the company would release a "sans iPod" version of its fitness tracking system. According to MacLife, the SportBand functions similarly to the iPod combination set, where it can measure time, speed, distance, and calories consumed. The system supposedly writes this information to a USB memory stick for upload to a computer. Nike will sell the SportBand for €60 (~$95), and will ship in April. Nike is reportedly not abandoning the Nike+iPod sports system, merely offering a less expensive alternative for users who can't afford an iPod nano.

Late last year, Nike and Apple were both under scrutiny for allegedly violating a patent, involving custom footwear that tracks the wearer's performance. Recently, Samsung announced a joint venture with Adidas with the goal of taking on the Nike+iPod system. Source: Electronista

THE HUMMERby James Trevithick Aldous

Stratstone, Park Lane in the heart of London is to be one of five exclusive Hummer outlets in the UK. The brand launches - for the very first time - a version of the traditional US Army vehicle with right-hand drive. The Hummer H3 is smaller and hence more agile and lighter to drive than the larger H1 and H2 models that would probably struggle on some of London's smaller roads. Wayne Rooney's got one. So has David Beckham. Prices start from £26,495.
