Fitbit Tracks Calorie Burn–All Of It

What if there were tiny lightweight device that kept near perfect records of your every movement? Would it drive you crazy? Or would it compel you to pay the $100 price for Fitbit, a two-inch long accelerometer — a three-way motion sensor- that tracks every move that involves movement of your torso. New York Times gadget guy David Pogue reports that the Fitbit "seems to be solid black plastic — but when you press the
sole button, cool blue lettering appears from nowhere. With each press,
this display cycles through how many steps you’ve taken today, how many
miles, how many calories
burned and how generally active you’ve been. This last item is
represented by a blue flower whose stem grows the more active you get." Too much information? Too much money? Read more about Fitbit from the Fitbit blog.
