All of you fitness nuts out there, can now rest easy as it’s been officially confirmed that Nike+ is coming. The program will be available for iPhone, and iPod Touch users. Patent filings began the rumor of a Nike-iPod relationship nearly a month ago. A Nike spokesperson has finally substantiated the rumor.

Some cool features you can expect to see with the program is the Nike+ Coach feature. With this you can set up distance settings to try and achieve, along with different marathon programs to train with. Another cool feature that will be available is the syncing of your device to the Nike+ website. The site will keep track of your progress, along with logging of competitive stats.

It is being reported that Apple and Nike will be using Wi-Fi and 3G as well. So instead of manually having to link your iPod to the site, all the data will be transferred wirelessly.

On a side note, I’m glad to see this come along. I went running for the first time in two years the other day, and it was pretty embarassing. I got lapped twice by this attractive girl, and needless to say it was motivation enough to go back. Having the Nike+ will be another motivating factor for me to get my lazy bum into shape.

Walt Mossberg is a very respectable Wall Street Journal Columnist. He is respected so much that when he drops information about future products, or information, even the most skeptical ears perk up. So all of you iPhone enthusiasts should keep reading as it looks like Mossberg believes the 3G iPhone to be released within 60 days.

The information came way by Beet.tv. The site held a conference in Washington D.C, where Mossberg spoke about the need of expanding our 3G horizons in the US. It was during this speech that Mossberg dropped the news about the 3G iPhone coming our way soon. Only time will tell if the information turns out to be true or false.

I don’t know if it’s sad or incredibly awesome that an iPhone dev team is using online “leet” speak to name software for the iPhone. What is being dubbed as “Pwnage Tool” ,will be able to completely unlock your iPhone.

The software, which will be compatible with Mac OS X will allow your iPhone to bypass it’s security utility. The security utility, “Bootloader” is what keeps your iPhone from downloading third party software. With the Pwnage Tool, it tweaks the bootloader to be able to load any software.

Here is a video of the Pwnage Tool in action:

As with any kind of software such as this, proceed with caution. While this might unlock new possibilities for your iPhone, it can also cause problems, especially if you have to have your iPhone worked on. Also software such as this might be considered useless once the App store is released, and third party applications will be available for download

The iPod, in my opinion helped spark the re-emergence of jogging and running in this nation. I remember when it was pretty rare to see people out running down the sidewalks of my town. Now I curse at all the people that run out in front of my car. I would say that a large portion of these people have ear buds that are connected to a MP3 device.

Apple it seems has taken notice of this sudden interest in staying healthy. It has been reported that they are in the process of developing a health based software program for the iPod Touch and the iPhone.

Let’s Hope Richard Simmons Is an Avatar You Can Use With The Program.

When the software is installed onto your computer, it will ask you a series of health related questions. It will ask you what sort of exercise activities you like to engage in, your fitness goals, and your activity level. Then it will ask you about your health history, and any current medications you’re taking.

Once this is complete, the program will churn out an exercise routine for you. It will give you goals to reach, in your quest for a healthy lifestyle. Your iPod Touch and iPhone will sync up with the program, so you can keep up with your routine when you’re at the gym.

In a previous FreeMacBlog post, it was reported that Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple had a few criticisms with the iPhone. One of the big tiffs that Wozniak had, is that the iPhone didn’t incorporate 3G technology into their handsets.

I don’t know if Apple was listening to him, or had planned on releasing 3G handsets before Wozniak’s comment (most likely the latter). Either way it looks as though Apple is planning on a major push for their 3G enable handsets, as it’s being reported that around 10 million are on order. To address battery concerns, the new model of iPhone will incorporate OLED into it’s display. This will not only help with battery consumption it will also allow for the iPhone to become alittle more slim.

No exact date has been given for a US release of the phone. While this is great news to some, it can also be frustrating for the consumer who made their iPhone purchase from the first generation. How do you all feel about this news, are you excited, or frustrated?

It was reported by FreeMacBlog, that it looked like it would be awhile before Flash support would reach the iPhone. It looks as though this report could turn out to be wrong. In our defense, even Jobs said he didn’t know when Flash support would be available.

It looks as though, the wait wont be as long as originally anticipated. Anyone who has been anxiously waiting for Flash support, can thank the SDK for the good news. Adobe has announced that it plans to use the SDK to make a Flash client for the iPhone.

Shantanu Narayen, CEO of Adobe explains the reasoning behind the decision, “We believe Flash is synonymous with the Internet experience, and we are committed to bringing Flash to the iPhone,” the Adobe head noted. “We have evaluated [the SDK] and we think we can develop an iPhone Flash player ourselves.”

One minor glitch with this setup, is that Flash had to run as an independent program. Apple doesn’t allow third-part programs to run as plug-ins, so Flash is going to have to run separate from the browser.
