Samsung's music-mobile phone takes on Apple

Samsung Electronics and Adidas have joined the race against Apple and Nike to offer a device that plays music and keeps track of workouts. Samsung's miCoach music-mobile phone includes a heart-rate monitor, a sensor to attach to a pair of running shoes, and a Web workout journal to help people design and keep track of fitness programs. The Nike+iPod system also keeps track of workouts, telling runners the distance traveled, calories burned, and other information. (Infoworld)
