This is cool...but not revolutionary. If you know anything about the BODYBUGG from APEX, you will know that this type of device/software fitness tool is old news. Maybe good to have it on an iPOD but not all that unique. What could they be seeking patents for...originality? DENIED!

I presume this would be an extra feature for iTunes rather than a separate app.
Using your iPod at the gym, when jogging etc & syncing your workout info from iPod to iTunes & vice versa would make sense.
