I saw the AMP+ in the Nike Town on Oxford Street this afternoon, but I didn’t buy it. I figured £60 was a bit too excessive and it doesn’t look quite as good in the flesh. Plus, I’m holding out for the Aero+ that has a proper display…

Nike AMP+ soon to be available in the UK?
It seems to be on the UK Nike Store, albeit out of stock.
However there only seems to be only the one colour option (unlike the 4 in the US) and it’s hugely overpriced: £60 compared to $80. Thanks a bunch Nike wankers.
EDGE & UC
How nice, my smartphone is now picking up O2’s EDGE network at home… I’d seen it in a few places around London (like Canary Wharf) but I’m surprised to see it out here in the sticks ;)
Should come in handy to run my mobile Communicator client on, having just seen how cool it was at the launch event today. I’m really enthusiastic about Office Comms Server and I just hope our little pilot goes well at work and we get to deploy it on a grand scale :) I really want a Roundtable to play with though!
Google DMCA
How odd – when searching for "GMF" (I wondered who they were as they sponsor the Rugby World Cup) on Google – you get this:

Interestingly, you get the same error if you use google.co.uk where the DMCA doesn’t apply…
Nike Amp+ on sale
In the US at any rate – $79 seems pretty good value to me. I’m still waiting for those other Nike+ watches though…
To buy or not to buy
£899 for one of those? Probably not. Maybe if they had a really nice camera in it, GPS and 3G then it might be worth it, but not as it stands.
New Google Reader features
I noticed that a new search box has appeared in Google Reader today. Sure enough, they’ve added a few new little tweaks to it. Yay!
New iPod Nanos & Nike Plus
It seems that there have been a few tweaks to the Nike+ UI on the new iPod Nanos. I don’t believe that there are any new features, although if you own any of the rather lovely Nike+ running gear the new Nano isn’t going to fit in any of the special compartments.
Nike+ Amp+ watch finally surfaces
You have to love the FCC – these are the first pictures of the Amp+ along with its manual and other goodies.
I just hope the Flight+ (or Aero+, or whatever it was supposed to be called) with its proper screen appears soon too.
