![]() We’re talking about building an SDK that could potentially be used by 3rd party developers to integrate Nike+ into their own apps. Now, that doesn’t exactly say, “Hey, come build an app for the Nike FuelBand,” but it does show some sort of sign that Nike has big plans for Android in the near future. One listing in particular even mentions a job that will work on the Nike+ API team to build an Android SDK “for use in any Android application that integrates with Nike+.” The job will also help build the “future of activity measurement for internal and external clients.” How much longer can Nike ignore this side of the mobile world? Maybe not much longer.Īccording to a handful of job listings (9 to be exact) on Nike’s corporate job board, Android appears to be a major focus for the upcoming year. Granted, the Android ecosystem doesn’t have anyone on Nike’s board, and Bluetooth LE is just now finally receiving support in Kit Kat, but come on, other smaller fitness outlets have had no trouble with this platform. Even though we have mostly praise for the product, the fact that the fitness giant continues to ignore the biggest mobile platform around is a bit confusing. We haven’t been shy voicing our frustrations over the lack of Android support from Nike when it comes to products like their FuelBand.
