And, once more, ...

Thesis: If you are a jogger, you need a stopwatch to measure your running speed. Antithesis: You do not need a stopwatch to measure your running speed. Synthesis: Devise a sensor embedded in your shoe that measures your running speed.

The solution is the Nike Plus shoe, that has a sensor embedded in the sole which can talk to an Apple iPod. When used together, the iPod Nano will measure the distance, time and pace of your run, while playing your favourite music. The results can then be uploaded on nikeplus.com for comparing your achievements with fellow jogging enthusiasts.

Rock 'n run, as the Apple site http://www.apple.com/ipod/nike/ describes it.

So, again, what's your synthesis today?
