A guy named Sfreddo Marco discovered an exclusive iTunes screen after updating his phone to the latest beta of the iPhone 3.0 firmware. While upgrading, iTunes got stuck with an error which unknowingly gave him access to hidden settings!

After the upgrade was successfully completed, the user found a new section dedicated to Nike+ in iTunes 8.2 with his iPhone connected. iTunes 8.2 gives user the ability to create Nike+ accounts and see the history of old sessions. A menu for "Sensor" was found as well which seems quite interesting. The Nike + tab and the Sensor menu hint at the use of Nike + technology for the upcoming iPhone. Nike + is currently exclusive for iPod Touch 2G only! It also appears that it might be possible to connect to other external sensors, switchable through a menu.

It is suspected that these features can be enabled with simple plist tweaking but the correct edits have yet to be discovered.

Edit: MMi Member FramedTrash posted up a ton of images of this from his iTunes. Check out post #2!

Nike? Isn't that something to do with sport
I've heard of this 'sport' thing but do my best to avoid it.

Yeah I herded that too I think 'sport' has something to do with Real Life (nasty place I herded there are no re-spawns)

For a site dedicated to the iPhone, I don't think you guys have done your homework.

If you'll recall, the iPhone OS 3.0 software allows devs to access hardware accessories connected to the iPhone through the connector port. I think it is much more logical to assume that Apple is readying a Nike+ adapter and an app that will access it after the 3.0 software is released, than to assume that this is an indication of a new iPhone model.

What exactly is Nike + & what does it do?

[Neo-Tech]

@Benz, the iPod Touch has one built in, I doubt it's another adapter, but knowing Apple, it probably is

@All who don't know what Nike+iPod is. Here is a resource for you.

...I'm really excited if this is going to end up being a real feature. I'm sick of carrying a Nano and iPhone with me to my workouts.

[StealthBravo]

^ I agree, I hope this feature turns out to be true.
