Also, the three-axis accelerometer and Bluetooth sensor are contained in a removable disc that lasts for about 40 hours between charges, which are achieved using the included USB adapter. While the sensor arrays are the same in all shoes, the Nike+ apps the data is sent to provide the different approaches to tracking, motivation and sharing data. All the data gathered is meant not only to impress but to inspire,  making a workout into something close to a game.  (via Cool Hunting)
