The functionality is simple (there are only three buttons), the backlit memory LED is crisp with large, easy-to-read letters and the connectivity with the Nike Plus website tracks your running record, congratulates you on PRs and gives friendly reminders that you haven't run all week. With built-in GPS, the Nike Plus shoes are no longer necessary to track your run (but if you choose, they can act as a backup when you're out of range to get a signal), and thanks to a USB port built into the watch band, downloading your run information requires a simple plug. Thanks to a partnership with GPS heavyweights TomTom, the latest Nike Plus system, announced at CES 2011, has reached its potential. There were still downsides: You had to buy a limited selection of Nike shoes that were compatible with the Nike Plus chip, accuracy was lacking and uploading information to your computer (to use Nike’s truly stellar run tracking site) wasn't straightforward. Later, Nike upgraded the system to be compatible with more iPods, the iPhone as well as a Polar heart rate monitor. In the first edition, a pedometer-like accelerometer embedded in a Nike shoe connected with the iPod Nano to store downloadable stats and give on-the-fly feedback.

However, Toyota told us they want to bring it to every phone they possibly can, so we can expect it to soon pop up on other operating systems, such as Windows Phone 7 (an OS Toyota called out to us as 'a priority').

At launch, the system will be compatible with Apple, Android, and Blackberry smartphones, as well as select feature phones. Entune will be available on new vehicles beginning later in 2011, but Toyota isn't announcing the exact models until the Detroit Auto Show next week. The company claims it will eventually spread to the rest of the suite, but until it does, users will still find themselves poking at to the dash. And while Entune boasts a sophisticated (Toyota calls it a 'casual language') voice recognition system, at launch it will only work with a single app: Bing Mobile. It also keeps consumers from having to sign up for multiple data subscriptions, since it piggybacks on your phone's connection. Toyota claims that this approach will allow for a huge amount of upgradeability in the future, allowing them to keep the system fresh by adding and subtracting Entune apps over time. At launch, Entune will offer access to five in-car apps: the Pandora and iheartradio music services, Microsoft's Bing mobile search, Opentable (for booking dinner reservations), and. The apps can then be controlled on the touchscreen head unit, or through voice control.

Using a dedicated Entune app, compatible phones can access a suite of Toyota-curated apps (from the cloud), which are then displayed on the car's head unit by way of a Bluetooth connection.

The car-maker's new Entune multimedia system uses a phone's data connection as a way to connect a car to the cloud.
