Saw this in an article about the Consumer Electronic Show and thought it was really cool. The device clips on to your clothing and keeps track of your steps, calories burned and answers the question - did I get enough exercise today?
It's wireless and when you walk within 25 - 50 feet of your computer it automatcally uploads to the Fitbit website. Once your info is uploaded you can logon and check out the analysis, share with friends and create collaborative workout goals and routines with family and friends.
Seems pretty cool to me, a toy down the road perhaps?!

Hey Jeff,
ReplyDeleteCheck out Amazon for some awesome pedometers - 10,000 steps a day to a healthier lifestyle. Anyways, saw some pretty inexpensive ones - some will actually work with your ipod or nano too.
have fun!

It looks like they haven't released them yet at all. Not even stateside. On their website you can pre-order them and they leave contact information. I'm hoping they'll be carried in stores here and over there.
