Samsung, Adidas team up for F110


It’s official, Adidas and Samsung have joined forces in coming up with a fitness phone that will rival the Apple/Nike tandem that has been the craze among health aficionados.

The F110, which is also known as the miCoach, is a quad-band slider that incorporates some nifty tools to aide the modern health buff. Once connected to the heart monitor and step counter, you can instantly gain access to your heart rate, distance covered and time while running with just one press of a button. No need to look at the phone as the data will be delivered via the included headset. With over 220 training programs provided through a fitness website which can then be downloaded later on, this virtual fitness instructor will see you through thick and slim.

The phone comes with 1 GB memory and is bundled with the heart rate monitor and step counter which they dubbed as the foot pod in the box. With more features to offer as opposed to the iPod/Nike duo, this new tag-team might prove to be a successful partnership in the long run (no pun intended).

Nifty idea, but I do not think it will sell. IMHO, the key to the iPod Nike tandem is that, the iPod is a great product in itself, with additional functionality of a pace-counter. Following the same formula, a phone must be great by itself, and then have additional fitness functions.

Sorry, but as a techno-sumer, this is not a to-buy item for me.
