All weather Satsports GPS aims to be the GPS for all sports, also introduces WinMo and Android apps

These days if you’re introducing a GPS, you’ve got to have a hook. Satsports is bringing its Satsports GPS to North America and wants it to be the GPS for all sports. It runs Windows CE 5.0, has an internal speaker, some built in memory with 256MB or storage, Micro SD slot for real storage, weighs 125g, and has a 2.7-inch QVGA screen (320 x 240). This GPS also has apps made for golfers, runners, street nav, and skiing.

What do these apps do? “Pocket Caddy” lets you see golf courses in a fly over mode so you can see the hole before you hit the ball. It will even tell you yardages so you can figure out how hard to swing. You can also record data like what kind of club you used so you can learn from your mistakes.

“Satski” gives you ski maps, real time data on speed, and rescue services data. “Satsports Log” will probably have the most wide appeal as it it is for cyclers, runners, and hikers. You can find out altitude, distance, and speed. Data for both Satsports Log and Satski are sycnable to your computer.

Nike launches Nike+ SportBand; as expected

Nike has officially announced its new Nike+ SportBand, which will be available on April 10. When we mentioned the Sportband a couple of days ago, there was a very limited amount of information about it yet, so we didn’t expect that aside from launching an uber cool gizmo specifically for runners, Nike was also launching the SportBand with its online runner’s coaching system – the Nike+ Coach. If that sounds familiar to you, well that’s because Adidas has a similar service in partnership with Samsung, the Adidas Mi Coach which utilizes mobile handsets instead of the SportsBand.

Nike+ Sportband to be made available next week

For stylish runners who want to make sure they’re not slacking off on their daily routine, perhaps there’s nothing better than Nike running shoes paired with a Nike+ accessory. The Nike+ iPod was one formidable setup but Nike’s latest move shows just how fruitful the partnership turned out to be. Apparently, Nike has ditched the more »
