Apple looks at fitness system integration for iPod

Apple may be expanding its reach to include a new fitness system integration for its iPhone and the iPod touch, patent filings indicate.

The new system would likely have four components: iTunes-style software, physiological sensors, a rewards tracker and a means of coordinating group activities.
