Samsung and Adidas unveil miCoach fitness phone


A new mobile phone which doubles up as a fitness coach has been unveiled by Samsung.

Developed in conjunction with German sportswear giant adidas, the miCoach handset comes with a stride sensor and a heart rate monitor.

Using data from the two sensors, the device is able to create a personalised training program based on your fitness level.

The phone, which features an mp3 player and a 2 megapixel camera, also provides training tips and time updates during workouts.

The miCoach phone is set to go on sale in the UK later this month.
