Here’s something different - Nike and Apple announced a partnership today. Apparently they’ve developed a shoe-based sensor that enables you to track the duration, distance, pace, and calories burned of your run.

I could see this enabling a particularly cool software feature. If your songs have the BPM (beats per minute) metadata entered, and your iPod knows the frequency of your steps, then your music could sync to your workout. Better yet, you could configure your music to pick up the pace and push you during your workout. That would be pretty sweet!
