Graham is thinking about making a Nike + iPod application for OS X. Here are some of my initial thoughts: Graphs that show your progress over time, either with the same route, or how far you manage to run in (example) 60 minutes. Map integration. Let me put my runs on a map like on [...]
BPM for your iTunes songs
I just bought a iPod Nano and an Nike Sports Kit for it. I’m going to use it for running and bicycling, and I’m thrilled by it already. A full report coming soon! So when I heard about Tangerine, an application that scans my iTunes library and figures out the BPM – Beats Per Minute [...]

Magic 8-ball on the secret “Zune” iPod killer
…if people look at it and their initial reaction is “Oh, it’s an iPod rip-off,” that’s a pretty crummy first impression. Does anyone at Microsoft realize that rip-offs aren’t considered cool?
