Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So I had two iPods die in two days. I'm hoping Apple will upgrade the amount of memory in the iPod Touch, so in the meantime I bought an iPod Nano. This has the pedometer, and it keeps asking me if I want to send my pedometer results to Nike. Has anyone tried this? Is Nike all privacy-invasive and sending a billion emails a day? or are they all mellow with your footstep info?

I do the Nike+ thing and haven't gotten a lot of spam from it, I don't think. I'm pretty sure I even checked the "send me offers and whatnot" box and the official Nike e-mails are just occasional and actually informative.
Do you not have to put a sensor in your shoe, now? I bought my new Nano just a little too early, it seems.

I think I still can, but it works without it. (So I'm not sure what the advantage to the sensor is.)

That's pretty sweet. I almost wish I didn't know that.

Does yours have the video camera and FM radio?
I had no idea Nanos now have all this stuff until I bought mine last week.

Yeah, I'm really wanting to upgrade but I'm trying to hold off until I see if the new iPhone is on its way and all that.

No, it does not. Stupid progress bumping into my cannot replace things when they are still working ethic.

Speaking of the Nano....
Nike+ Heart Rate Monitor Due for Launch June 1st
Great news! I have a U.S. launch date for the Nike+ compatible heart rate monitor. It will officially launch on June 1, 2010, although it may reach some retail outlets slightly sooner. It will reach Canadian markets in June and will launch internationally in summer 2010, exact date to be determined.
...
Plans for the heart rate monitor were revealed last September in a revision to Apple's Nike + iPod User Guide, which claimed that the device will only be compatible with the fifth-generation iPod nano.
I'd love to have the heart rate monitor, except I can't jog and I don't wanna wear headphones while riding my bike (for safety reasons)....

Oh, I've been wanting that for a long time! In a not really believing it would ever really exist way. That will make me buy yet another Nano, if it's required.
If you stick on earbud in one ear only it won't keep you from hearing ambient noise, and you don't have to listen to it for it to work, you just miss out on the voice telling you how far you've gone or how much time has passed or whatever. All the data is still recorded.
