One of Apple’s recent patents seems to be a new Nike+iPod system, using the iPhone as a “lifestyle companion.” The idea is to make the iPhone even more ubiquitous than the iPod. With the iPhone’s built-in accelerometer and smartphone functionality, not to mention, memory capacity Apple making it an all-around gadget doesn’t seem such a crazy idea. Extending the idea even further, Apple plans to use the iPhone’s camera as a calorie counter of sorts to scan the bar codes on food products, so if Apple adds a camera on the iPod Touch it’s only reasonable to expect that it can be a lifestyle companion too. It’s definitely a good idea to me and hopefully a new and more portable hardware will come with the implementation.
