Good news for fitness junkies who like to mix and match their gadget brands: MotoACTV’s accompanying application will now work on pretty much all Android phones, and not just those that happen to be made by Motorola. The only catch so far as we can tell is that your handset must run Android 2.1 (Eclair) or later — a near-certainty in 2012. Already rocking a Moto device? You might still want to take the time to install this update, as it brings several other new features, including the ability track fitness goals on your phone, as well as use your handset to configure WiFi networks for your MotoACTV. You can also plan workouts on your device of choice, access them on MotoACTV and then send your workout data back to the phone. So far, the Engadget staff can confirm the update works just fine on LG devices, so we’re optimistic the latest software will play nice with the Samsungs, HTCs and Huaweis of the world.

Nike just keep building on its Nike+ brand, turning what started life as a glorified pedometer, into a full-fledged workout-tracking platform. Hot on the heels of the FuelBand comes Nike+ Basketball and Nike+ Training, two new experiences with their own dedicated footwear. For ballers, the Hyperdunk+ features a pressure sensor that measures speed, jump height and even abstract concepts like “hustle.” It also features a ego Showcase mode that lets you superimpose workout data over video of you dunking and post it to the web. Nike+ Training, like almost every other workout app or digital accessory, turns getting in shape into a game. The app features a series of drills and challenges meant to improve speed, agility and strength, and your performance can be uploaded to a global leaderboard. The new apps and shoes, including the Hyper Workout+ for Women and the TR 1+ for men, will be available on June 29th in the US, UK, Germany, France and China.
The Nike LunarGlide+ running shoe series first came into the scene in 2009 and immediately received attention from the community due to its revolutionary Dynamic Support system which is said to be able to adapt to the need of foot individually in terms of cushioning and support. The following year, the series received an update in the form of LunarGlide+ 2 which provided slightly better fit for its user. This year, it receives yet another new model but this time around, it is not just an simple update.
With Nike LunarGlide+ 3, gone are the signature Flywire construction on the midfoot section that provides fit and support on that area. Instead, it has been replaced with a midfoot strap that attaches to the laces and pull from slightly under the foot for even better fit and support. Even the sockliner has been redesigned with grooves that are designed to work together with the new midfoot strap.
In addition to that, the LunarGlide+ 3 also receives floating heel clip that is even more minimal than previous iterations of LunarGlides as well as a newly designed outsole. The only major features that still remain on the new LunarGlide+ 3 are the Lunarlon foam that provides cushioning to the shoe and its Nike+ support.
Just like previous LunarGlides, the new LunarGlide+3 comes in gender-specific models and are available right now at Nike retailers nationwide for RM 399. To find out more, check out Nike Running’s official website at www.nikerunning.com.my.
