Fitbit: confirms stuff you already knew, but with numbers
My love of pointless and quantifiable information about aspects of my life which do not generally require quantification have led to a great deal of lusting over this unnecessary little gadget. Despite the fact that I can tell you how I sleep (quite well) and how much exercise I do (not much), I’d like the brilliantly named Fitbit (it sounds so friendly!) to confirm all this and tell me also how many calories I’m burning. It stores all this juicy information and wirelessly transmits it when you’re within 25-50ft of the basestation so it’s automatically uploaded to the website for you to log in and check.
Cue much spreadsheet and graph generation. Heaven.
Sad news: it’s not out yet. More sad news: it’s going to be $99.
