I use the Garmin Forerunner (205). The Forerunners have a mode called "Virtual Partner": "Use Forerunner’s unique training tool, Virtual Partner®, to help you meet your training goals. Simply enter the distance and time or pace/speed you want to maintain during your workout. Virtual Partner appears on the Forerunner as a tiny runner that "runs" alongside of you, displaying your goal pace compared to your current pace — so you can see at a glance whether you're keeping up or falling behind. To complete your workout and meet your goal, just stay ahead of the Virtual Partner."

That is the most stupidly obvious piece of viral marketing that I have ever seen.Nice use of the registered trademark there!
I'm definitely gonna go buy "Forerunner’s unique training tool, Virtual Partner®"!
