Apple working on bike computer app?

    From AppleInsider:
    Apple developing activity monitor for skiers, snowboarders, bikers

    Apple appears to be working on an activity sensor similar to the Nike+ iPod sport kit geared towards skiers, snowboarders and mountain bikers that would be capable of determining their "air time," "speed," and the amount of "power" or energy absorbed during those sporting activities.

    I do wish they'd come up with a proper cycling version of the Nike+ sensor that runners have (although this doesn't really sound like it). The best part of this article is the down-with-the-kids stuff.
    For example, a typical snowboarding person might regularly exclaim after a jump that she 'caught' some 'big sky,' 'big air' or 'phat air' without ever quantitatively knowing how much time really elapsed in the air.

    :D

    I'd be happy if they just had a decent tool for analysing my ride files with my favourites charts and the ability to plan my fitness schedule.

    OR -- AND THIS IS ANNOYING -- a way to get my polar watch to download the files.
