iPod: a Tracking Device?!!
You’ve probably seen spy movies so many times, you’ve become familiar with tapped phones – those cool gadgets that make espionage seem glamorous and exciting despite the fact that, in reality, spying is a dangerous and serious business.
Sometimes all it takes for a criminal is a right combination of devices, intention, and opportunity. So it is the responsibility of the consumers to know as much as they can about the products sold in the market – you never know when a gadget will be used in a malicious manner.
Such is the case of this – introducing, the Nike + iPod Sport Kit. The iPod Nano’s bottom is more than a music player. A receiver can be plugged into this device. That receiver communicates with a sensor fitted in the left sole of a Nike shoe. The signal transmitted by the shoes sensor can be detected by any compatible receiver within an 18-meter radius. This system, called Nike + iPod, is designed so that while the user is walking or jogging, the sensor detects the feet’s movement and sends this information to the receiver. The distance walked, as well as the pace, time and calories burned are all noted by the iPod; the data obtained can be uploaded to the Nike + iPod website. Users can use the software available on the website to tailor their workouts to their preference.
At first glance, Nike + iPod is a nifty gadget. But then, it can very well serve as a tracking device; a tracking device that will inform consumers that there really are products that can lend themselves susceptible to evil intentions.
ipod? can be used as a tracking device? wow huh, amazing!
