It’s got a pedometer, of that we’re sure, but what about a heartrate monitor? Some documentation for a new Nike+ sports kit suggests that the iPod Nano will shortly receive a heart rate monitor.

AppleInsider has a document found on Apple’s Website describing the Nike+ features as well as a linking system to add an HRM to the iPod. It seems you can also add a remote.

I’d love an HRM for the nano. Then I can take video of myself huffing and puffing on the lowest setting on the stair climber.
