Increible la noticia que acabo de leer en cnet, todas las empresas intentando meterse en el mundo de la ropa tecnológica y van los de Nike y lo abandonan. Y eso que su proyecto ya estaba muy consolidado!!
Dicen que ahora solo se dedicarán al software y han despedido a 55 de las 70 personas que trabajaban en el proyecto Nike Fuelband.
Se habla mucho de que el equipo de Fuelband haya sido vendido a Apple, que será quien se encargue del hardware de las pulseras.A partnership, say analysts, would be a no-brainer. "Apple is in the hardware business. Nike is in the sneaker business. I don't think Apple sees Nike as competitive. It's likely that an Apple hardware offering would be supportive of the Nike software," Jim Duffy, a Nike analyst with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, said when speaking with CNET last week. "Nike would be content to let Apple sell devices, as long as they would be supportive of the apps."
"Partnering with industry-leading tech companies is nothing new for Nike," Nike's Strong said. "We have been working with Apple to develop products since 2006, when we introduced Nike+ Running, and Nike has since created iOS Apps including Nike+ Training Club, Nike+ FuelBand and Nike+ Move."
Of course, it was always inevitable that Cook's wrist would eventually sport an Apple-made device, and no other. Whether that particular device carries Nike software may be the next defining step for Nike in the world of wearables.
