So much in love with shiny new toys, it's unnatural.

The Gadget: The GZ PC-Sport Power Stepper from Gamercize claims to give desktop and laptop users a workout by hijacking their keyboard or mouse when they slack off on their workouts.
The Price: $199 for the GZ PC-Sport + Power Stepper / around $140 for the GZ PC-Sport alone.
If sitting in an office cubicle all day wasn't bad enough, Gamercize wants you to throw a workout into the equation with their new GZ PC-Sport Power Stepper. The stepper itself is similar to other products on the market, except this one hooks into your computer via USB and shuts down your keyboard or mouse when you start slacking off. According to the product page, using the GZ PC-Sport can burn up to 400 calories per hour with a effort level that is equivalent to a "brisk walking pace."

The Gadget: The Nike Amp+, which acts like a remote for your iPod when using the Nike+ iPod Sport Kit. It controls both music playback and workout status, plus tells the time with its invisible LED display. It's not a replacement for your iPod, but a remote that lets you access music and workout features without reaching for your player.

The Nike Store has just dropped the Nike Amp+ Sport Remote Control. We brought you news of the range of devices back in January, but it looks like the first line of watches has been released without much ado. The new model, paired with the Nike+ iPod Sport Kit and Nike+ Ready shoes, will allow you to hear instant voice feedback of your time, distance, calorific expenditure and pace.

The Gamercize gaming exercise machine we showed you before has a new version for Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii coming out really really soon. The idea is the same as the old version though: your controllers only respond if you're pedaling or cycling, allowing you to exercise and game at the same time. Seeing as we spend about half our lives blogging and the other half playing games, if they can somehow attach these to our keyboards so we have to exercise in order to type, we'd the legs of a horse-baby.

Latest by CRosemond: This headset is NOT new. This headset has been offered in the US for a while at newegg.com under the name AVIXE BTH11... which happens to match Uhura's dress perfectly! I also might add, the one at newegg.com more »

Announced two months ago and now shipping is the Nike + Apple iPod Sport Kit, a pair of shoes that talks to your iPod, and then lets your iPod talk to you. The Nike shoes keep track of your running (or walking, skipping, hopping, limping or jumping) distance, time, speed and even calculates calories burned, sending that info to your iPod that speaks the data to you so you don't even have to look down at the screen.
