This is somethign I'd seriously think about buying because nothing s***s me off more than doing cardio to music that is out of time to my steps. Not sure if this would match the BPM's of music to pace though... but I think I'd still find it's post workout features quite useful.

An apple fanboy friend at work told me about this last week...

I thought it looked extremely gimmicky.

How could anyone use this and not feel like a complete consumer whore? Yeah I sometimes use an ipod during fitness activity but I think this just crosses that line from functionality to horrible gimmick. Like those calculator nerd watches in the 80s.

I just turn my ipod up so loud I don't even know I'm running and before I know it, the pain is over

Wow look, yet another accessory. Ipods are worse than the money making scheme with BF2 :/

buy a walkman phone ie. sony ericsson and you won't have to carry 2 devices around with ya everywhere.

I haven't been able to figure out if it actually synchronises run rate/songs either, or whether it just acts as a pacer. I'd love to find out if anyone knows though.

It looks like it's not available in Australia yet - any idea when we'll see it here?

I've always found working out to this most effective.
