David Beckham Gets a Golden 32GB iPod Touch

David Beckham might be an average soccer player but a very good merchandise promoter (specially for his shirts). To celebrate his 100th appearance for England national soccer team, during last week’s friendly match against France, Becks’ teammates has decided to reward him with a nice gilded 32GB iPod Touch, engraved with his name, title and the national team symbol. I’m not so sure this fancy memorabilia is going to become one of Apple’s standard products, but if it does, it will cost you around $1190 (£600), which is fair enough, considering a signed one will probably fetch you at least $3000 on Ebay.

Nike + SportBand Trainer Goes Live Officialy

After many rumors floating around, the Nike+ SportBand device is coming up on April 10, for $59. This cool device provides (for those who’d prefer not to have an iPod player when they run) a real-time performance feedback during a run, including distance, pace, time and calories burned, in order to assist improving the training results by providing a simple link to the world’s largest running club on nikeplus.com. Furthermore, runners can get access to their own personal online trainer with Nike+ Coach, to build their own training programs and empower their levels. I just hope this new Nike product will make you all, couch potatoes, get  on your feet and start training.
