Fashion
 It’s
your call how you want to be in fashion, and now technology is giving
you help.
Technology never
ceases to amaze me. I never imagined that my clothing or sports shoes
could become a medium to hear my favorite music during my daily
workout, or help me monitor the calories burned.
Last year Levi’s
came out with its Levi’s Red Wire DLX Jeans with Apple Inc. With a
limited number of 50 pairs for the price of almost Rp 3 million, you
could hear your favorite music, without ever having to worry that your
iPod might be stolen or where forgetful you put the tiny gadget (it’s
another matter if the jeans were the target of thieves).
Recently sports
clothing manufacturer Nike, again working with Apple, debuted its new
sports shoe, the Nike Air Zoom Moire, whose wonders of technical
innovation allows communication through one’s iPod in a system called
Nike+iPod Sport Kit. Users receive information on the distance
covered, calories expended and speed which is conveyed to the iPod
screen and real-time response through headphones.
When you are done
working up a sweat, hitch up your iPod Nano to your Mac® or
PC to retain the information on your workout.
"We worked with
Nike to bring the worlds of music and sport to a whole new level,”
said
Jeremy Khoo,
Marketing Communications Manager South Asia, Apple Inc. "The result is
like having your very own personal trainer or workout partner to give
you motivation every step of the way.”.
The Nike+iPod
requires Nike+ sports shoes and iPod nano with Mac® and
portal USB 2.0 serta Mac OS® X of the 10.3.9 version or a
computer equipped with Windows with portal USB 2.0 and Windows 2000,
XP Home or Professional (SP2).
It’s time to get
moving even if your daily activity up to now has consisted of lying on
the sofa or nursing a couple of coffees and scones at the local coffee
store. Of course, you do not have to go overboard with all the
gadgets, and the musical jeans may be a bit of an extravagance. Just
as the song warns that Too Much Love Will Kill You, likewise too many
gadgets will leave you broke and nuts to boot.
