And I can readily believe that Nike's clever and apparently open-architecture gadget drove their sales. But I can't help wondering what would have happened if Nike+ had been created by a company with .48% market share instead of 48%. <BR/><BR/>I think the installed base and brand still form the basis of the sales here, while the technology and community aspects may produce a bit of icing on the top. Still, one can't go past the fact that this is better than some 'frequent runner' program, or 'Nike points' for buying shoes and shorts.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634199045147895899noreply@blogger.com
