Samsung and Adidas have come together to bring a fitness-centered handset, known as the miCoach (F110). This quad-band slider cell phone features a dedicated fitness button that furnishes you with details about your heart beat, distance covered and running time when hooked up to a heart monitor and a step counter. You don't even need to hook it up to a PC to view all those information, as you can view running information on-the-fly by tapping the display. Your heartbeat rate will also let you know whether you're running too fast or slow, depending on the fitness programme you picked out. There are over 220 training programmes available for the miCoach, and you will find something for everyone regardless of your fitness goals. Do you think this will break Nike and Apple's dominance? The miCoach is tipped to be available from next month onwards.
