MP3 Player for Runners/Walkers/Joggers

The new gadget being introduced by SONY has a capacity to store 1350 songs. It counts calories burned, distanced traveled and records the runs made.

It also adjusts when the runner is slowing down.

This is going to compete with Nike and Apple which costs US$ for the kit and 100 for the shoes. The kit can be bought separately and can be attached to an old pair of Nike shoes.

The Sony S2 Walkman costs $120 for the 1 GB and $150 for the 2 GB. It doesn't come with shoes.

Sony is introducing an MP3 player for runners/walkers/joggers who like to listen to "Chariots of Fire," the Rocky theme song and other tunes to inspire them to go the distance.

The S2 Walkman stores up to about 1,350 songs (2 GB model), is water resistant, counts calories burned, distance traveled and records your runs. It will adjust your playlist if it senses you are slowing down or speeding up. And if you want to shuffle your music, you just shake it three times, fast.

If some of the features sound familiar, it's because Nike and Apple are alread
